Morehouse School of Medicine, with support from Ferring Pharmaceuticals, launched a new initiative championing equity in fertility care for Black women. FertilityEquity is an e-learning program focusing on fertility care for Black women. It’s available to the public, but created for healthcare professionals and fertility clinic staff. Dr. Lasha Clarke, an assistant director of research and translation at the Center for Maternal Health Equity at Morehouse School of Medicine, talks more about the program. 



Data shows Black women entrepreneurs are the fastest-growing demographic of entrepreneurs. However, Black women entrepreneurs face a myriad of challenges, including a lack of venture capital investment, resources and mentorship. In an effort to empower Black girls and women entrepreneurs, Southern Black Girls Consortium recently launched the Dream Investment Program. LaTosha Brown, the visionary founder of the Southern Black Girls, discusses the goals of the program and its application process. The deadline to apply for the program, which is open to young women entrepreneurs between the ages of 14-24, is Sat. Nov.30.
