Nacr3

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, let’s explore the deep connections between the histories and ongoing struggles of Indigenous communities and Black women in the U.S. These two groups, though distinct in their identities and experiences, share a legacy of resilience and a mutual commitment to justice, empowerment, and cultural pride. Their intersections reveal commonalities that can strengthen community ties and inspire continued advocacy. Shared Histories of Oppression and Resilience Native American and Black communities have endured a legacy of systemic oppression, from colonialism and displacement to enslavement and racial violence. These experiences shape the cultural identities of both groups, instilling in them powerful resilience and ingenuity. Black women and Indigenous people alike have turned their struggles into stories of survival, transformation, and strength. These histories connect us in the ways we navigate trauma and celebrate victories, large and small, to b...

  As we begin Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we must acknowledge and celebrate the strength, resilience, and sparkle that define Black women. For many, this strength is rooted in overcoming personal and societal challenges. However, being strong doesn’t mean we neglect our health — especially our physical health. In this first week of the NACR3 effect, we focus on physical health and its significance for Black women, particularly in preventing and battling breast cancer. Health Challenges Unique to Black Women Black women face distinct health challenges, many of which are compounded by social, economic, and environmental factors. Black women are disproportionately affected by conditions like hypertension, obesity, and diabetes, which not only increase the risk of breast cancer but also impact recovery and overall wellness. Studies also reveal that Black women tend to be diagnosed with more aggressive forms of breast cancer and often experience worse outcomes due to delays in detect...

In today's fast-paced world, women of color often find themselves balancing multiple roles—professionals, caregivers, community leaders—all while navigating unique cultural and social challenges. Amidst these responsibilities, prioritizing physical strength becomes not just a fitness goal but a powerful act of self-care and empowerment. The Importance of Physical Strength Building physical strength goes beyond aesthetics; it's a cornerstone of overall health and well-being. Strength training enhances muscle mass, increases bone density, and boosts metabolic rate. For women of color, this is particularly crucial as we face higher risks of certain health conditions: Chronic Diseases: Regular physical activity reduces the risk of hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease (CDC, 2020). Mental Health: Exercise has been shown to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, promoting better mental health (American Psychological Association, 2019). Overcoming Common Barriers W...

 Please be aware!!! So, to give everyone some context. This person was once a part of this group and observed the beginning of my concept of  Nacr3: Strength, Resilience, and Sparkle!  She went overseas to study and commenced the campaign that you see here. Now,  Nacr3: Strength, Resilience, and Sparkle!  has been in all of my books since 2019, and my self-published book Grace Under Pressure covers the whole concept of Strength, Resilience, and Sparkle! I have spoken to her several times about the likeness of her posts, and she plays ignorantly. I am saddened by this because we are connected on a different platform that promotes Sisterhood. Nothing about her actions is sisterly. However, be advised that  Nacr3: Strength, Resilience, and Sparkle!  is the ORIGINAL Sparkle! Community. I have Sparkle! on several different platforms before she began her campaign. She is not original. And because of the way she has gone about it, I am not seeking any comprom...

IF YOU NEED IMMEDIATE HELP, PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE SUICIDE AND CRISIS LIFELINE VIA TEXT AT 988 in both English and Spanish   The Silent Struggle: Black Women Business Owners, Mental Health, and Suicide Rates In recent years, Black women have emerged as one of the fastest-growing business owners in the United States. According to the 2022 American Express State of Women-Owned Businesses report, Black women own 21% of all women-owned businesses, representing 1.7 million enterprises nationwide (American Express, 2022). This rise in entrepreneurship is a testament to resilience, creativity, and an unwavering drive to succeed despite systemic barriers. Yet, behind the statistics of success lies a story that is often overlooked: the mental health challenges and increasing suicide rates among Black women business owners. The Pressure to Succeed For Black women, the entrepreneurship journey is often fraught with unique challenges. They face not only the universal pressures of running a bu...
