A Conversation & A Celebration of Black Women’s Health March is here—a season of renewal,...
The transition no one prepared us for just got a whole lot easier.
Sometimes managing perimenopause feels overwhelming—unexpected mood swings, nights when sleep plays hide and seek, and moments when your body feels like it belongs to someone else entirely. And let's be real—the healthcare system wasn't designed with Black women's experiences in mind.
That's exactly why Health In Her HUE has partnered with Jayla Health to offer solutions that are tailored to help Black women navigate perimenopause.
Why This Partnership Matters For Us
For generations, Black women have been told to "just push through" hormonal changes. Our mothers and grandmothers often suffered in silence, with symptoms dismissed or misdiagnosed. The message was clear: perimenopause wasn't something to discuss openly.
“Menopause is more than just hot flashes - It’s a full-body transformation affecting hormones, mood, and overall well-being. And as with any journey, we all experience it differently. But menopause doesn’t have to happen to you—it can happen with you, as you take the helm by staying informed, knowing your options, and finding support in your community. Let’s talk, learn, and navigate this together” said Princess Uzoh, Chief of Staff and Director of Strategic Partnerships at Health In Her HUE.
This partnership centers on three core principles: education that reflects our reality, community that strengthens our journey, and accessible tools that actually work for us.
The Jayla Kit: Knowledge Is Power
At the heart of this collaboration is the Jayla Kit—an at-home hormone testing system paired with virtual consultations with providers who understand Black women's health.
What makes this different from other hormone tests? The Jayla Kit was developed with diversity in mind, recognizing that hormonal patterns and responses can vary across different ethnicities. The telehealth component connects you with practitioners trained specifically in culturally competent care.
With your exclusive Health In Her HUE member discount, you can:
- Test key hormones from home (no more awkward doctor visits where your concerns are minimized)
- Receive a detailed analysis that explains your results in plain language
- Connect with healthcare providers who won't dismiss your symptoms as "just stress"
- Develop a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and preferences
As Lauryn Hill might say, this is about that "thing" – that intangible but crucial sense of being truly seen in your healthcare journey.
Disclaimer: Jayla Health kits are currently only available in AZ, CA, FL, GA, NY — please check the Jayla Health website for the most up-to-date availability information before placing your order.
Community Conversations: Real Talk About Real Experiences
"I thought I was losing my mind until I heard other women sharing the same experiences I was going through." shares Joyce, a Health In Her HUE community member.
That's why we're hosting a special Community Conversation event featuring experts from both Health In Her HUE and Jayla Health. This isn't your typical dry medical webinar—it's a sister circle reimagined for the digital age.
During this event, we'll dive into:
- Perimenopause symptoms that specifically impact Black women
- How stress, historical trauma, and everyday racism can affect hormonal health
- Practical strategies that honor our cultural traditions while incorporating modern science
- Real stories from women who've found their way through the hormonal maze
Whether you join us live (bring your tea, sis!) or catch the replay when your schedule allows, you'll leave with actionable insights and the comforting knowledge that you're not navigating this journey alone.
Your Sisterhood Awaits
The beauty of this partnership extends beyond products and events. It's about building a sustained community where Black women can share experiences, exchange wisdom, and support each other through every hormonal shift.
Through our forum, you'll connect with women who understand exactly what you're going through—from the colleague who gives you side-eye when you need to adjust the office thermostat (again) to the partner who doesn't quite grasp why your mood changes faster than Mary J. Blige's hairstyles through the years.

A New Chapter in Black Women's Health
This partnership represents something revolutionary—a health initiative that starts with Black women's needs rather than adapting mainstream solutions as an afterthought.
“For too long, we've been told to just deal with it,” says Antonia Walters, Jayla Health Co-Founder and CEO. “This partnership acknowledges that Black women deserve specialized care during menopause—care that honors our unique experiences and is tailored to this phase of life.”
The path through perimenopause doesn't have to be walked alone, and it certainly doesn't have to be shrouded in confusion. With Health In Her HUE and Jayla Health by your side, you can approach this transition with confidence, community, and culturally-relevant care.
