Black women are juggling a lot as mothers, professionals, partners, community leaders and much more – all while managing life through a global pandemic, political unrest and ongoing racial tension. But juggling it all has taken a significant toll on their health and well-being. In fact, more than half of Black women over the age of 20 have heart disease.  

The Release the Pressure (RTP) Coalition is committed to reducing the prevalence of heart disease among Black women by empowering them to unapologetically put themselves and their hearts first, so they can live longer, healthier lives. The RTP Her Heart Summit brings together Black women from across the country — creating a national movement aimed at healing broken hearts.
