Nkiruka Wellness is a Black woman-led public health organization dedicated to improving health literacy, expanding access to care, and eliminating health disparities – one community at a time.
We believe every person deserves access to accurate health information and the resources to act on it – regardless of where they live, what they earn, or who they are.
Everything we do is grounded in four interconnected commitments:
Educating individuals on their health rights, anatomy, and preventive care so they can make informed decisions with confidence.
Removing structural barriers by providing free supplies and referrals to trusted providers because access is a right, not a privilege.
Elevating the voices of women, youth, and underrepresented populations, so communities shape their own health futures.
Collaborating with community leaders, cultural groups, and local health workers to create sustainable, lasting solutions.
Our Impact, At a Glance
Active programming across North Carolina, U.S.A. in schools, churches, and cultural organizations
Nkiruka Wellness was founded by Nnenne Asi, MPH – a Nigerian-American public health professional with over a decade of experience in community organizing, health education, and public health consultation. Our work spans two continents and centers the people most often left out of mainstream healthcare conversations.
From reproductive health education in rural Nigeria to tobacco prevention in North Carolina classrooms, our programs are designed to be culturally grounded, evidence-informed, and community-led.
