Customer Reviews
Just what we need!!
As a personal trainer and health and wellness enthusiast, I've found “Brown Women Wellness” to be an asset to a community of women by educating not only brown women but all women on the importance of healthy eating/living.
An excellent mother-and-daughter team!! Thank you for sharing!
Best,
Tina
Awesome podcast
Great information on lowering blood pressure naturally! These are tips that are very easy to put into our schedules! Oatmeal banana pancakes sound Yummy!
Andretta and Aaqila truly touch on many pertinent health issues. I get nuggets from every episode. It is good to have Brown Women speaking to the health of Brown women. Since I’ve been listening I’ve been motivated to do some of the things (like exercising and consciously breathing through my nose) that I had just let fall by the wayside. You are what you listen to and listening to this podcast gives positive energy!!! Keep up the good work!
By the family for the family
My 9-year-old smiles in the backseat every time she hears you all say “Hello Brown Beauties.” In addition, she listens and comments to the things you say. That’s the start of behavior change and I’m glad to introduce her to your podcast as a way to reinforce good habits. The other day her dad pulled out shredded cheese and she went into a lecture on wood filler. Thanks for bringing health education in a format that’s digestible for the entire family.
