Lisa Peyton-Caire

Founding CEO & President, Foundation for Black Women's Wellness · Community Health Leader

From one woman's loss came a movement serving thousands. When Lisa's mother died of heart disease at just 64, she channeled her heartbreak into Black Women's Wellness Day—a single event that grew into a national nonprofit reaching 10,000 women and families each year with education, resources, and systemic advocacy.

REDEFINING LONGEVITY

What Longevity Actually Looks Like

Community Is Medicine

Isolation accelerates aging. Belonging extends healthspan. When Black women feel seen, believed, and supported, their nervous systems regulate, inflammation decreases, and the body's capacity to heal expands.

Representation Saves Lives

When Black women see themselves in health resources, they engage differently with their care. Visibility matters. Accurate information matters. Cultural relevance is not optional—it's structural.

Prevention Is Collective

Outreach stops suffering before it compounds. Peer education, shared language, and collective care become health infrastructure that doesn't show up in charts—but changes outcomes anyway.

Healing Accelerates Together

Being believed changes how the body responds to treatment. When people feel understood, stress lowers, recovery speeds up, and long-term wellbeing becomes possible. This is biology, not sentiment.
