Over 21% of Black Americans 70 and older are living with #Alzheimers. And because of discrimination and racial health disparities, they're also significantly less likely to be diagnosed. Health equity is vital to #EndALZ. Take action: https://t.co/folJNrM8j6 #BlackHistoryMonth

Dementia Friends was launched to tackle the lack of understanding that means many people feel scared or embarrassed to share their diagnosis.

We can support people affected by dementia by helping them feel more understood, less isolated & able to talk about their experiences.
