This Month’s #GoddessSpotlight Feature is a 911 First Responder and Veterans Advocate…Meet Meta Mereday and hear all about the work she is doing for the Veteran Population in Nassau and Suffolk Counties here in New York and beyond.
Black Women Stand Up is extremely excited to feature Meta this month as she is doing so much to help and to bring attention to the many needs and plight of our Nation’s Veterans. Video Below:
Watching her interview this morning on the Wendy Williams Show brought tears to my eyes as she recounted the story of being physically attacked by Hip-Hop Artist Dr. Dre. years ago. We commend you for Standing Up for yourself and finding the courage to press charges in order to get some sort of justice for your ordeal. “Peace and love to you on your journey.” #BWSU

Tiffany Braxton – Loving Daughter
BlackWomenStandUp.com launched #LoveYourVaJayJayDay on April 10th, 2014 a year after Co-Founder, Tiffany Braxton lost her mother to an aggressive form of #UterineCancer. Since then, it has been a mission for the ladies to bring awareness to the five types of #GYNCancers with Uterine Cancer being one of them. Love-Your-Va-Jay-Jay Day is #BWSU’s Cancer Awareness Initiative and on this day the Hashtag #CheckUpOnIt is used throughout Social Media to remind women to stay on top of their health and #CheckUpOnIt to remain cancer free or for early detection.
We invite you to spread the word, and if you are a woman of color who is a survivor of any of the five types of GYN cancers and or #BreastCancer we want to celebrate you on our #SurvivorsWall, or maybe you want to honor a loved on who is a survivor. We also have our #MemorialWall to honor and celebrate the lives of women of color who have passed on from one of the types of gyn or breast cancers.
Don’t forget to #CheckUpOnIt

Celebrating Women This Month, Today and Everyday on BlackWomenStandUp.com
October has come to an end, but work towards finding a cure and bringing awareness is ongoing. We celebrate ALL Women who have won the fight against #BreastCancer and we lift up women like Jeanetta M. Johnson who are Standing Up with a message of hope and inspiration to help other women understand they too can win if diagnosed.
Jeanetta teamed up with Mayvenn Hair and BrightPink.org during #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth 2017 to enlighten women on the symptoms of breast and ovarian cancers, and on the importance of educating themselves so one will know what to look out for.
Remember, BlackWomenStandUp’s – #BWSU #BreastCancerAwareness Hashtag #CheckUpOnIt for the purpose of remaining cancer free and early detection.
Thank you to Jeanetta M. Johnson.

This past Monday, April 10, 2017 BlackWomenStandUp.com’s Online Gynecological and Breast Cancer Awareness Initiative, “Love Your Va-Jay-Jay and Breast Day” was a success. The Founders took to social media to spread their message using hashtags #CheckUpOnIt, #LoveYourVaJayJay and #LoveYourVaJayJayAndBreast to encourage women to be proactive with regards to their health in order to remain cancer free or for early detection and treatment.
Ways to #CheckUpOnIt :
It was great to see supporters sharing messages, celebrating being Survivors as well as celebrating Survivors in their lives.
