Black Women Health & Wellness Founders Watch List

“Self care” seem to be buzz words these days but taking care of self mentally and physically is a must for everyone and an attainable goal.

The Black women in health & wellness below can help you eat more vegetables, walk the dog, train foreign medical students, fix your feet, and much more!

Kimberly Barnes

Might Be Vegan is a plant-based culinary group helping people all around the world to eat more plants. We specialize in creating one-of-a-kind, plant-based experiences, brand activations, and content creation with our partners.

Some examples of the work that I’ve done include planning the country’s largest vegan-only tailgate to date, #VeganAtTheGame. I’m also the creator of the #FromMeatsToBeets Challenge that is hosted in more than 100 cities weekly in North America.

As a Black woman, my focus first is on my community and helping us to shift the statistics that say we have the highest rate of diet-related, preventable illnesses in this country.

Good Dog is a dog walking app that teaches proper pet care to help reduce dog euthanasia.

I’m a dancer and health entrepreneur that started this business after surviving a massive rare stroke in the middle of teaching HIIT class in Beverly Hills.

Angelic Williams

MyUmbrella believes that the LGBTQ community should have a platform to feel connected, empowered and safely navigate the world around them.

We execute those beliefs through our mobile application that allows for peer to per interaction, engagement with LGBTQ friendly brands and value added elements such as volunteer opportunities with local LGBTQ organizations.

Dr. Yolanda Ragland

Fix Your Feet focuses on the surgical correction of painful and embarrassing foot deformities, including bunions and hammertoes, using the Tiara-Toe™ technique; the brainchild of Dr. Yolanda Ragland.

Her mantra, “Providing medically necessary surgery with a cosmetic result®”, is synonymous with her surgical practice and its final outcome in keeping with her patients’ concerns.

While most Pediatric and Orthopedic surgeons often substitute remedial foot surgical procedures for aesthetic obligations, Dr. Ragland integrates these two domains and furnishes her patients with both functionality and relief.

The revolutionary Tiara-Toe™ technique is a Pedi-Plastic™ approach that yields the best enhancement results consistent with an aesthetic outcome.

B.J. Wiley Williams

So Hookd makes it simple and fun for enterprises to reward and gift the people they care about with experiences good for the mind, body and soul.

SoHookd’s gifting platform, the SoHookd Marketplace, includes over 150+ luxe wellness experiences ranging from fresh food delivery to fitness apparel and luxury spa experiences to boutique fitness classes.

Ericka Perry

The Stork Bag, the first and only pregnancy subscription bag to receive OBGYN certification. Since the launch in 2014, The Stork Bag has garnered the love and attention of celebrities like Kate Upton, Khloe Kardashian, Heather Altman and more with customers from all over the world.

Now an award-winning entrepreneur, recently named 40 under 40 by the Business Observer, Ericka’s mission is to inspire and encourage women to reach for the stars even when others in their arena may look different.

She advises women to be fearless, stand out, be great and make moves to “become a quadruple threat!”
