Perimenopause and menopause are not about “fixing” our bodies—they are an invitation to reclaim strength, protect longevity, and feel powerful in a new season of life.

Join the Physical and Mental Health Committee of the Gainesville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. for an empowering and educational session designed specifically for Black women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

This session will focus on:

• Building and protecting bone density and long-term health

• Strength training made accessible for every age and fitness level

• A culturally affirming, judgment-free space

• Practical, safe exercises women can actually do

• Education that leads to confidence and empowerment
  
  

Our guest speaker, Romona M. Jackson, NASM-CPT, GFI, will break down:

• How hormonal changes affect bone density and muscle mass

• Why strength training is essential—not optional—during this season

• Simple, effective exercises to improve strength, balance, and stability

• How to start (or restart) strength training with confidence
  
  

Leave feeling informed, encouraged, and empowered.

This is about longevity, confidence, and honoring your body through every stage.
