The African American Diabetes Association (AADA) is a national tax-exempt 501c3 non-profit organization led by African Americans. We serve as a voice for Black Americans with or at risk of diabetes, addressing the alarming health disparities caused by a legacy of systemic racism. These disparities include restricted healthcare access and unethical medical practices that disproportionately harm Black communities. Building on the legacy of Negro Health Week, we're dedicated to addressing health inequities, especially the disproportionate burden of diabetes in Black communities. Existing efforts haven't closed the gap, with Black Americans experiencing diabetes rates nearly double those of non-Hispanic whites. The COVID-19 pandemic further exposed this disparity. Our vision is a future where Black communities have the resources they need to prevent and effectively manage diabetes.
