Hello everyone! I’m Ryan Powers, co-founder of healthbetweenus.org, and I’m thrilled to welcome everyone to our community. As a registered nurse with nearly a decade of experience, I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges many women face when it comes to accessing accurate health information. This nonprofit was created to empower young women by providing a safe, inclusive space where we can break the silence around critical health topics, advocate for body positivity, and share reliable resources to enhance both mental and physical well-being. At healthbetweenus. We believe in fostering a supportive environment where all women feel valued and heard. My mission is to ensure that you have the tools and community you need to thrive, no matter where you are in your life journey. Together, let’s build a space where we can uplift each other, share knowledge, and improve quality of life. Feel free to introduce yourself, share your stories, and ask questions. I’m excited to get to know you and support your journey. Let’s empower one another! Ryan Powers

For a better perspective on a woman's experience in the modern world, I highly recommend the book "Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men" by Caroline Criado Perez. The author sheds light on the issues women face due to everyday products, environments, and facilities that ignore the needs of over half of the population. It's a very interesting read! https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Women-Data-World-Designed/dp/1419729071?dplnkId=9d350f24-b786-41c9-b396-5862280d8ad0

At healthbetweenus.org, we strive to create a safe, open space for young women to discuss often-overlooked health issues. From body positivity to mental health, it’s essential that everyone feels heard and validated. By sharing experiences and information, both women and their allies can break the silence surrounding these critical topics. Together with my co-founder, Melody, we are committed to building a community grounded in the 3 E’s: Encourage, Empower, Educate. Let’s have the conversations we’ve been told not to have and support each other in the process.
