A cervical cancer awareness campaign dedicated to protecting Black women through education, early detection, and community support. Because your health matters.
Take the 2-Minute Quiz
Your Health Matters. Your Life Matters.
Every woman deserves healthcare that sees her fully, hears her concerns, and responds to her needs with dignity and respect.
The Black Girl Health Collective created this campaign because we believe in a world where Black women have equal access to life-saving preventive care without fear, judgment, or barriers.
We're here to provide the information, resources, and community support you need to protect your health and well-being.
Why This Matters for Our Community
30%
Higher mortality
Black women are 30% more likely to die from cervical cancer compared to white women, despite similar screening rates.
93%
Preventable
With regular screening and follow-up care, up to 93% of cervical cancers can be prevented entirely.
2X
Treatment delays
Black women face twice the delay in receiving follow-up treatment after abnormal screening results.
These aren't just statistics—they're our mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends. Together, we can change these numbers and save lives in our community.
Test Your Knowledge
Think You Know the Facts?
How much do you really know about cervical cancer and prevention? Take our quick 2-minute quiz to test your knowledge—and learn some potentially life-saving information.
Then share what you've learned with the women you love. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to our health.

The quiz takes just 2 minutes and could provide information that saves a life—maybe even your own.

Our Stories, Our Strength
"I put off getting screened for years because I was scared of what they might find. When my sister was diagnosed, I finally went. Now I get checked regularly because I want to be here for my daughter. Knowledge is power, and early detection saved my sister's life."
– Jade, 34, Wilmington
Real stories from women in our community remind us why this work matters. They inspire us to overcome fears, break through barriers, and prioritize our health.
Every woman deserves to feel empowered in her healthcare journey. By sharing our experiences, we build strength and solidarity.
