To kick off Women`s History month, Delta Research and Education Foundation, Inc.(DREF) honors the legacy and vision of Geraldine Pittman Woods. In 1964, Woods became the first African American woman appointed to the National Advisory General Medical Sciences Council at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In this position, she improved science education and research opportunities at historically Black colleges and universities by establishing two programs: Maximizing Access to Research Careers and Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement, both components of Minority Biomedical Research Support at the NIH.
Ms. Woods, the 13th National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., established Delta Research and Educational Foundation in 1967 at the 29th National Convention in Cincinnati, OH. Her Philanthropic vision was to create a vehicle for the Sorority to raise money for research and educational programs and to establish a research center.
May this March—and every month after—meet you with spaciousness, abundance, and the kind of community that holds you up and lets you exhale. May your visions be funded, your boundaries honored, your joy prioritized, your future wide open. Happy Women`s History Month. #DST1913, #DREF, #WomensHistoryMonth, #Herstory, #CreatingPossibilities, #ImprovingLives.

We honor the legends and the neighbors, the matriarchs and the newcomers, the caregivers and the risk-takers, the artists, scholars, entrepreneurs, healers, and students, across the diaspora...YOU ARE SEEN.

DREF reminds us all that a heart healthy food choices saves lives, especially for Black women. Here is a tip to support our flavors, our way—lighter on salt, heavy on herbs. Try: collards simmered with garlic + smoked paprika (skip the pork), oven-“fried” catfish with cornmeal, roasted sweet potatoes, and citrus slaw. Heart-healthy and delicious.
Here are 8 steps to help prevent heart disease: 1) Control portion sizes. 2) Eat more vegetables and fruits. 3)Choose whole grains. 4)Limit unhealthy fats. 5) Choose low-fat protein sources. 6) Limit and reduce sodium and salt. 7)Plan ahead: Create daily menus. 8) Have a treat once in a while. #DST1913, #DREF, #AmericanHeartMonth, #BlackWomensHealth, #HealthyFoodChoices, #LiveWell.
