When Weinberg senior Jem Feuilladieu was a freshman, he dreamt of Black Northwestern students “thriving” rather than just “surviving” on campus. This fall, they founded the Black Health and Wellness Collaborative to bring those dreams to fruition. According to its mission statement, BHWC aims to provide a space of discourse, support and resources for Black.
The Sankofa Wellness Village project, set to break ground in 2023 with a center that includes a clinic, exercise facility, early childhood programs, credit union and more, is one example.
