Better understanding their current experiences, with particular focus on the past few years. The Movement: Identifying the expectations that Black women place on brands/companies to affect social change, in particular addressing inequity within wellness and wellbeing. What perceptions have shifted over the last few years? How have these actions been interpreted and felt?
