Lot’s of talk this time of year about diets and resolutions but what about working towards solutions about what and why we eat and what is happening to us….
80% of Black Girls are more likely to become obese than other girls.
1 in 4 middle aged Black Women have diabetes.
These are the facts but do they have to be our future?

[WELLNESS CAMPAIGN] #30FOR30 Movement-Movement
Launched by @MichaelaAngelaD
Join the #30FOR30 Movement on Facebook —> http://on.fb.me/VlaJzf
Sisters!
You are invited to join the MAD FREE #30FOR30 Movement-Movement; where sisters are supporting each other in taking care of our beautiful, bodacious, bodies and our big brave hearts.
Our powerful “What’s Eating Us?” (Pt1) conversation last week with Terrie Williams and Ngo Okofar at Peak Performance NYC revealed many things about our resistance to committing to fitness, loneliness and fear were common denominators.
And speaking of hearts….
You probably already know this but here you go:
- African-American women have the highest rates of being overweight in the US.
People who are overweight are more likely to have heart disease.
- Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for African American women 20 years of age or older.
But know this too:
- A new study shows just 30 minutes of exercise a day works in helping adults lose weight.
- Part of the explanation may be that people found 30 minutes so doable that they had the desire and energy for additional physical activity. (University of Copenhagen)
So let’s do this!
We don’t have to do for ourselves by ourselves.
Starting Saturday Dec. 1 commit to doing .30 minutes of exercise for 30 days with and for your sisters. Together we can share our stories, strategies, successes and strut into 2013 more healthy, more whole and more free!
At last the time has come to put your health first!
You and your heart deserve it.

About FELA!:
His story inspired a nation. His music inspires the world.
FELA!, the award-winning musical directed and choreographed by two-time Tony® winner, Bill T. Jones, returns to Broadway for a strictly limited engagement. A spectacularly inspiring and triumphant tale of courage, passion and love, Fela! is based on the life of Fela Kuti, who created Afrobeat – a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies – and mixed these sensual eclectic rhythms with simple but powerful lyrics that openly assailed Nigeria’s corrupt and oppressive dictatorship. The production features many of Fela Kuti’s most captivating songs performed by a combined cast of the original Broadway production and the Royal National Theatre production.
In August:
Michaela will be hosting the Dance Theater of Harlem Street Festival Saturday, August 4th, as always all exclusive details will be on our Facebook page.

We talk things out and have each others back.” The campaign seeks to expose and inspire hundreds of girls from all over the city to the Be Cool. Be Kind. campaign.

MAD Free Gets Personal for Mothers Day [A message from Michaela angela Davis, of MAD Free…]
Mothers, Mothering Spirits and Friends,
I hope you all felt the love and support of the mothering spirit yesterday and everyday, as you all know I had the honor to work with The Huffington Post/BlackVoices on the “For Sybrina” Campaign a Mother’s Day Tribute to Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martins mom and by extension we we honored mothers everywhere who have lost children. We received 100s of handmade cards, poems, video messages, photos and of course letters of love. It was a humbling and powerful reminder of the power of love to heal, everything.
Now it gets personal. I did a very intimate MADFree conversation with survivor, writer, free spirit and my mother, Helen Delaney. We gathered a small group of shining sisters in my favorite neighborhood cafe and talked about losing her 17-year-old son Eddie, Sybrina Fulton, hope and the strength of the human spirit
We did this to support Sybrina and inspire as many mothers and spirits as we can. If it touches you, please pass it along: http://huff.to/J5wQcw
