Certain ingredients commonly found in hair relaxers, skin lighteners, and hair dyes marketed to Black women contain harmful chemicals linked to serious health issues such as breast and ovarian cancer, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, maternal health complications, and more.
It’s crucial for Black women to be well-informed so they can make safer choices for themselves and their families. Thus, we will be tailoring a train-the-trainers program for BLACK SORORITIES and for AAIMCAT HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS to provide participants with the training and skills to better understand and raise awareness about the health risks associated with toxic chemicals in beauty products marketed to Black women.
The training will include an overview of the science linking chemicals in Black beauty products to negative health problems impacting Black women and girls, interactive exercises, training tips and legislative solutions your MEMBERS or COMMUNITY can engage in to address the problem.
Join us to gain access to easy-to-understand, science-based information, explore our Non-toxic Black Beauty product database, discover Black-owned beauty products you can trust, hear about beauty justice policy solutions and more!
