(BPRW) Black Girl Vitamins and Howard University Announce Multi-Year Partnership Deal As Official Vitamin Sponsor for the University Women’s Basketball Team

The partnership is a beacon of empowerment, highlighting the strength and resilience of Black women while marking a historic collaboration between an HBCU and a Black-owned business

(Black PR Wire) Black Girl Vitamins, a pioneering wellness brand dedicated to addressing the unique health needs of Black women, is proud to announce an exciting and transformative multi-year partnership with renowned HBCU, Howard University – Bison Women’s Basketball team, providing direct monetary sponsorship and essential vitamins to players and coaches.

The partnership between Black Girl Vitamins and Howard University comes at a pivotal moment – as Howard University celebrates 50 years of women’s athletics with a storied legacy boasting nine MEAC regular season titles and 11 tournament championships over the past five decades. This is a powerful step towards equity, inclusion, and empowerment for Black women – addressing historical underrepresentation, underservice, and underfunding of women’s sports, especially within collegiate basketball.

I’m extremely excited about this partnership! As a huge supporter of those who positively impact the Black community and beyond, Black Girl Vitamins has created a brand and product that promotes health and well-being for us. I look forward to the great things ahead! ​ ​

About Black Girl Vitamins

Our Mission Is Ensuring Black Women Continue To Thrive. Black Girl Vitamins was created to improve the well-being of Black women everywhere – providing us with accessible, affordable, and effective essential vitamin and mineral supplements that combat chronic deficiencies and correct cosmetic concerns.

When Black Women Are Healthy, Our Communities Are Too. While most over-the-counter women’s vitamins follow FDA guidelines, these guidelines often fail to consider our unique health and dietary needs, including nutritional deficiencies.As women of color, we often lack essential vitamins such as magnesium, calcium, iron, folic acid, – and specifically for Black women – vitamin D because our pigmentation reduces its production in the skin. Vitamin D protects against chronic conditions such as heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and certain cancers. It’s also linked to conditions such as depression, high blood pressure, colon, breast, and prostate cancer, and obesity.
