JUST FYI – FAITH -Heart Health APP for African Americans

Those of you who follow the HairBlues blog, or have listened to my Wellness Connections podcast, are aware that I am an Open Heart Surgery survivor, now 27 years strong.

Close to My Heart

In this Podcast (Episode # 13), I share with you a website, which supports women who have heart disease – and women who may not know they have a heart health issue. As was my case 26 years ago. If this kind of information had been available, 26 years ago, my life’s journey in this regard, would have been different.
