Sample Post 1: Honoring the Woman Who Keeps Everyone on Track

[Post a photo of you and the woman you would like to honor]

This woman keeps our family healthy, fed, active, and on track, and half the time puts herself last so everybody else can be first.

For Women’s History Month, I’m taking the #HerHealthChallenge with @blkwomenshealth because Black women deserve the same energy they pour into everyone else. I donated to the Black Women’s Health Imperative in her honor. When Black women are healthy, families, communities, and future generations thrive.

With DEI rollbacks threatening funding for organizations doing this work, we can’t sit this one out.

I’m challenging @[name] @[name] @[name] to step up, donate, and honor the Black woman who holds it all together.

Sample Post 2: Honoring a Woman Battling Illness

[Post a photo of you and the woman you would like to honor]

Most people see her smile. I see the strength behind it. My wife has been battling [illness] and through every appointment, every hard day, and every moment of uncertainty, she has shown me what courage really looks like.

For Women’s History Month, I’m taking the #HerHealthChallenge with @blkwomenshealth because Black women face some of the highest rates of chronic disease in this country and they deserve better. I made a donation to the Black Women’s Health Imperative in her honor because the fight for Black women’s health is personal for me.

With DEI funding being rolled back, organizations like BWHI that have been doing this work for over 42 years need our support more than ever. This is not the time to be silent.

I’m challenging @[name] @[name] @[name] to join me. Make a donation, post your photo, and honor a Black woman in your life. Her health. My heart.

Sample Post 3: Honoring Someone You’ve Lost

[Post a photo of you and the woman you would like to honor]

I lost [her name/my mother/my wife/my sister] to [illness], and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t carry her with me. She was [describe who she was to you in a few words]. I wish she had more time. I wish the healthcare system had shown up for her the way she showed up for everyone around her.

For Women’s History Month, I’m taking the #HerHealthChallenge with @blkwomenshealth in her memory. I made a donation to the Black Women’s Health Imperative because I don’t want another family to feel this loss. Black women deserve health care, research, and resources that reflect their lived realities.

Right now, organizations like BWHI are under threat as DEI funding disappears. We have to invest in our own. We have to protect the organizations that protect Black women.

I’m challenging @[name] @[name] @[name] to honor a Black woman in your life. Make a donation, share your story, and keep this going. For her health. For her legacy.
