The Soul Sistah Expo scheduled for June 7

logoAfrican American women struggle with a variety of health issues and the upcoming Soul Sistah Expo will shine a spotlight on solutions. The event will feature a health walk entitled the Fit and Faithful Walk. It is scheduled to start at 7:30 a.m. Early morning walkers will start off with a warm-up and crossfit training in the Amphitheater. Tonya Hall and the Desoto Parks and Recreation Department host the event.

Diabetes, overweight, heart disease and lupus are just a few of the diseases that are serious concerns in the African American community. However not everyone agrees pills are surgery are the immediate answers. That is why the event will spotlight a holistic approach to living well.

Information on hair care, fitness tips and beauty spotlights will be featured throughout the event. Online registration is open and the fee is $10. Guests can register online at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/soul-sistah-expo-fit-and-faithful-walk-tickets-11429841965
