🦠 COVID-19 Relief Fundraiser
Thank you for helping us raise $975 for COVID-19 relief in India. Special shout-out to Brown Girl Beauty, Salty Betch Shop, and Jatinder Creates — some AMAZING desi & women-owned businesses, in supporting us with a successful giveaway.
Another huge thanks to ScioVirtual for matching our funds.
We are only $25 away from reaching our $1000 goal. Help us reach it by donating either on Venmo (@BrownGirlHealth) or at lu.ma/browngirlhealth (PS: every dollar really counts)
We also understand this may be a tough time for a lot of us with family in India, check out a few resources we created with Shakti Therapy!
🧠 #MentalHealthMondays
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Join Brown Girl Health and Championing Youth Minds in hosting some amazing speakers on IG Live and having some thought-provoking conversations around Mental Health in the South Asian Community.
Check out our second #MentalHealthMonday where BGH Researcher Nimrah Khan speaks with Ektha Aggarwal, from Shakti Therapy, about coping with the COVID-19 Situation in India.
And, check out our most recent #MentalHealthMonday where we speak with Dr. Vijayeta Sinh from Therapy for Brown Women regarding the intersection of relationships and Mental Health.
💡 Spotlight Saturdays
Check out our newest project, where we highlight different South Asian Women doing amazing things in the Health Community.
Our most recent spotlight was Dr. Nisha Patel, a doctor and Culinary Medicine practitioner, who may or may not also be on our latest podcast episode 😉

Haven’t you heard the phrase “I wish I knew this before”? Honestly, we all wish we knew this before. When it comes to health, things are either just not talked about and sometimes we just don’t know what preventative measures we could’ve taken.
Well…let’s get rid of this phrase! Tune into the Brown Girl Health podcast and listen to some real conversations on Women’s Health. That way, you will have known this before!
We just released Season 2, a series filled with fresh takes, amazing health tips, and some really candid conversations. We hope that you tune in!
Take care & see you next time,
Brown Girl Health
