When: Wednesday April 3, 6:30-8:00p
Where: Uhuru Furniture and Collectibles, 832 N Broad Street Phila, PA
On April 3rd join the African Peoples Education and Defense Fund (APEDF) for our monthly African Self Determination program where we focus on Health in the African Community. Our special guests include:
Michelle Strongfields, M.D.: Founder of IAMM Science Education Group
Racquel Barnes: CEO of Fit2you Wellness Group
Iris Elena Kimbrough: Birth Doula and Founder of Phoenix Rising Birth Works
The forum will discuss solution to the disparities around health in the African community. Did you know that:
life expectancy for black men is lower than any racial or ethnic demographic in Philadelphia. At 69.1 years, it is more than 5 years lower than other men or the rate of new HIV infections among black women is 15 times that of white women. One in 32 Black women will be diagnosed with HIV in her lifetime.
The only way to solve these problems is through self determination.
The day long festival will also feature free health resources and information from a large number of organizations including: Refugee Health, Penn Dental, The Wedge Mental Health, Urban Bush Babies and live music by Rugrat, Raw Life Crew, Mel the Artist and more!
The Uhuru Health Festival & Flea Market is an economic development project of the African People’s Education and Defense Fund (APEDF.org).
Vendors and Volunteers wanted! Call 267-875-FLEA (3532).
