COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SHEKNOWS

Katherine Speller, Health/Sex/ Relationships Editor at SheKnows, is looking for pitches:

Pitch call: I still have budget for more Black History Month stories — I'd love reporting/essays dealing with identity and health, mental health, reproductive health, wellness culture, joy, rest, self-care, etc. over at SheKnows Health. Rates start at $175. Email kspeller@shemedia.com

I would also love to see some things around mental and physical health for Black moms, teen and child health, chronic illness, long covid, pregnancy health, etc. I’d also really love to feature more Black women perspectives on menopause and perimenopause as we continue to boost that coverage section-wide.
