GirlTREK Movement

GirlTREK is the largest health movement and nonprofit organization for Black women and girls in the U.S. We encourage Black women to walk 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, as an act of radical self-care. Our programming has done what no billion-dollar weight loss company or public health campaign has done. Black women are walking at life-saving levels. They’re getting off meds. They’re losing weight. They’re finding joy.

In 2020, we met our audacious goal to inspire a million Black women to walk. We will now leverage this critical mass of Black women to reclaim our neighborhoods, create population-level systems change, and inspire a global culture of health that will reverse the devastating impacts of chronic disease and increase the life expectancy of Black women worldwide.
