No matter which city you go to, there's an issue of accessibility to certain lifestyles when it comes to minority communities.
DETROIT, Mich. — Whether it's a lack of access to food, access to a pharmacy or even a hospital, the main issue activist report is a lack of access to health improvement.
For a lot of minorities in Detroit, access to a gym or fitness center wasn’t something that was ever a priority or deemed a necessity. One of the major health issues in the Black community is obesity. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 38% of men over the age of 20 are obese. For women over the age of 20, it's 55%.According to a report by Statista, health fitness and wellness center membership rates are low in the Black community. Studies report only 12.3% of health club members in the country are Black compared to 66% that are white.
"Just last week I had a lady come to the class, a Black lady,” Randall said. “I asked, 'Was everything good?' She said, ‘It just feels good to yoga with Black people.’ You know it's never about isolation. But It's a different vibration when you see someone who looks like you are working on themselves. It's inspiring and it's promising for the future as well."
According to Mental Health America, mental health plays a crucial role in the Black community. MHA reports 16% of the Black population reported having a mental illness in the last year.
