Healthy Futures is a research-driven, storytelling-focused newsletter that investigates health inequities, archives Black health history, and examines how digital culture and technology shape how we process, perceive, and engage with our well-being. Every month, expect to see reported pieces and curated recommendations to help you live a healthier life.

This space is a figment of my imagination made real on the page. I’ve long envisioned a voicey, research-driven health and wellness platform rooted in care for Black communities and scientific, ancestral, and historical knowledge. It also had to tackle health misinformation—one of the most pressing issues of our time—with love, clarity, and understanding. Today, most of our health landscape exists online; it’s where people seek answers and form their health and wellness beliefs as they encounter a flood of misinformation. As a writer dedicated to improving the health of communities, especially Black ones, it is pertinent to navigate and challenge this landscape, offering accurate, accessible information that empowers people to live healthier lives.

My goal remains the same: to leverage my storytelling and media skills to promote healthier, more equitable communities. Healthy Futures will demonstrate how past innovations—alongside ancestral and community-based practices—can shape a more just and informed future. It will address health trends, habits, public policies, and digital discourse influencing our collective well-being.
