Our Mission : The Health Palette

Hi,

My name is Olamide Olatokun and I’m the founder of The Health Palette. 

Firstly, thank you so much for joining our community. We have had such a great response to The Health Palette reintroduction and can’t wait to share everything we have in store with you.

Whilst we work behind the scenes to prepare our next magazine issue, we wanted to take a moment to share our three core reasons for starting The Health Palette.

Too often Black voices and experiences are left out of mainstream conversations about health, beauty and lifestyle. 

At The Health Palette, we are committed to providing culturally relevant information on topics that relate to our community and affect our community in higher numbers. 

At the moment, you can find us through our magazine but we are expanding into a podcast and in person events as we want this information to reach as many people as possible.

We know healthcare systems have often failed Black communities and that many have had negative experiences within healthcare settings.  

At The Health Palette, we take these experiences seriously and our aim is to transform them into opportunities where we can equip you with the knowledge and tools to confidently navigate and advocate for yourself in healthcare spaces.

As well as being the founder of The Health Palette, I am also a medical doctor working in London and I am committed to providing accurate, evidence-based and high-quality information throughout our platform. 

Each piece of information provided by The Health Palette, whether that be through our magazine, social media content or podcast, will be expertly researched by a trusted and knowledgeable professional. Because we deserve nothing less than gold standard care.

Representation matters. That is why The Health Palette content will come from a panel of mainly black experts - after all, information resonates better when it comes from someone that looks like you and that understands your culture and identity. 

We are committed to discussing topics that are often overlooked by mainstream media, such as Afro hair care, fibroids, sickle cell disease and many more.

Through our brand, we will amplify Black voices as well as spotlight Black owned health, beauty and lifestyle brands. Our aim is to bring positive representation to black health, beauty and lifestyle.

Welcome to The Health Palette. Thank you for joining the community.

Olamide Olatokun, Founder of The Health Palette
