Christine Russell, B.A.
Christine Russell currently serves as Director of Health & Wellness Programs with
the Foundation for Black Women’s Wellness. With a background in health
promotion and corporate wellness, she brings over 17 years of experience
supporting and administering health and wellness programming for hospital
systems, global pharmaceutical companies, and national health management
organizations, bringing greater health, wellness, and outcomes to employees and
families.
Christine is known for her creativity, mindfulness and intention in the health and
wellness space. With a hope-filled, transformative wellness journey of her own,
she infuses her training as a fitness and yoga instructor, intrinsic wellness coach,
and essential oil practitioner into her program development. She rounds out her
experience with program implementation, data analytics, marketing, and
communications, and leads strategic initiatives.
In addition to her role at the Foundation for Black Women’s Wellness, Christine

Program. Through her leadership and advocacy, she works to ensure that the
voices and health needs of underrepresented populations, particularly Black
women, are prioritized in research initiatives.
Christine’s passion for community impact and multifaceted approach to
integrated wellness, has inspired her local work in Greater Madison to support
underserved individuals and their families through support groups, maternal
care, financial, and physical well-being. Her transition from corporate wellness to
community health drives her commitment to further support her own community
and create empowering spaces and experiences where Black women and their
families can thrive
