In celebration of Women’s History Month, the California Legislative Women’s Caucus held an annual ceremony in the State Capitol to recognize seven California ‘HERstory Makers’. In recognition of her groundbreaking achievements, the Caucus chose our executive director, Janette Robinson-Flint, as one of the 2024 California Women Making HERstory. The California Legislature paid tribute to Janette on Monday, March 11th in Sacramento, presented by State Senator Nancy Skinner.

In the words of California Legislative Women’s Caucus, "Your founding and directing of Black Women for Wellness – now a national movement – has brought focus to the glaring disparity in maternal and infant mortality rates and health outcomes for women and families of color, making you a true HERstory Maker. Your tireless work and the advocacy of Black Women for Wellness has propelled state and national action to improve women’s physical, mental, and financial health during pregnancy and beyond, not only for Black women and babies, but for all women and infants experiencing such disparities."

Join us in celebrating Janette Robinson-Flint's remarkable achievements and unwavering commitment to advancing health equity for Black women and families everywhere. She is indeed a beacon of inspiration and a true HERstory Maker.
