Join Ednesha, Marquia, and Kim for a great discussion with Katara McCarty, Founder of EXHALE⁠, the first emotional well-being app designed specifically for Black Women and Women of Color.

EXHALE recently published “⁠The State of Self-Care for Black Women⁠” report, providing an in-depth look at Black Women's experience with mental, emotional, and physical health. Some of the findings were:

Nearly half of the Black Women surveyed indicate that stress impacts their daily lives, and 25% report being hospitalized or needing medical care due to stress. An overwhelming 76% think there is a prevalence of people who believe Black Women are stronger than most people and should be able to manage more stress than others. And 66% say they overexert themselves to excel in the workplace and to take care of personal responsibilities.

While resources to manage stress have become more abundant, the report further confirms that Black Women face many barriers in accessing formal mental health resources, with the majority of resources failing to address the unique experiences of Black Women. As a result, 77% of respondents believe there is a need for more well-being tools and resources tailored to support their specific needs.

47% said there is an insufficient number of well-being resources and tools specifically tailored for Black Women.

Katara is a sought-after coach, author, speaker and podcast host, as well as the Founder and CEO of Katecha Corp, a technology startup dedicated to expanding access to health and well-being for Black Women. She is also the founder of Katecha Cares Foundation, a non-profit committed to systemic change that prioritizes and ensures culturally responsive care for Black Women’s mental and emotional health is the norm. Katara is committed to amplifying the richness of Black Women and their stories while advocating for and providing well-being resources through her app EXHALE.
