Introducing Wakanda Wellness Week 2023
Bridging Health Equity and Civic Engagement
We are thrilled to announce the 2nd Annual Wakanda Wellness Week, a groundbreaking event that will shine a spotlight on the intersection of health equity, civic engagement, and social change. With great inspiration drawn from the legacy of the late Chadwick Boseman, we are dedicated to fostering awareness and dialogue surrounding crucial issues that affect our communities. We invite you to join us in making a profound impact on our society's future.
Wakanda Wellness Week is a week-long initiative aimed at promoting awareness of the essential connection between civic engagement and health equity. In memory of Chadwick Boseman, an advocate for social justice and equality, we seek to channel his spirit by addressing the pressing issues of our time. Our event will combine education, community engagement, and shared experience to create a transformative environment.
