Our Brains, Our Health: Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month & What It Means for Black Women
Hey Sis, let’s talk about something real.
June is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month—and while this disease affects millions of people, it hits us differently. For African American women, the risk is higher, the diagnosis often comes later, and the emotional and physical toll can be intense. But knowledge is power, and awareness is the first step toward action.
💡 Why This Matters to Us
Studies show that Black Americans are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia compared to white Americans. And because women are more likely than men to develop Alzheimer’s, Black women sit at the intersection of two powerful risk factors. Some researchers even say we are part of an “exceptionally high-risk group.”
This isn’t about fear—it’s about facts and facing the future with intention. Alzheimer’s doesn’t just touch the individual—it touches families, caregivers, and entire communities. So during Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, we’re focusing on our brains, our health, and our voices.
