BGH PHOENIX RISING VIRTUAL 5K MEANING: Black Girl Health is dedicated to helping women achieve healthier lifestyles.  Black women and women of color are disproportionately plagued by illnesses due to poor nutrition, diet, and environmental stressors.  This race was created to encourage healthy habits and physical activity while showcasing the resiliency and strength of black women even in the face of a pandemic such as COVID-19.  When a phoenix rises from the ashes, it emerges from a catastrophe stronger, smarter and more powerful.  WE ARE THE PHOENIX...WE ARE RISING!!!
