Loose WomenS โBrenda Edwards Reveals Respect and Trustโ Among Panellists Fuels Health Campaign
Looseโ Women panellist Brenda Edwards is championing a new campaign encouraging members of Afro-Caribbean communities to prioritize their eye health, citingโค the inherentโ trust โคand respect โalready present within thoseโข communities as a key factor in delivering vital โhealth messages. Edwards is supporting Specsavers‘ โ”Aunties Army”โฃ initiative, focused on โขraising awareness of glaucoma – a โcondition disproportionately affecting people of African and Caribbean descent.
The campaign leverages the influential โrole of “aunties” – โrespected figures within these communities โknownโ for offering guidance and support – toโข encourageโค regular eye tests. Edwards explained that โคbecause these women are already sought out for advice, extending that trust to healthcareโข decisions โfeels natural. “They are given respect and are people โคyouโข go to for advice, so why notโ trust them withโข your โคhealth? That’s what we are trying to get across in the campaign,” she said. Glaucoma often presents no early symptoms, making regular check-ups crucial for early โdetection and preventing โpotential vision loss.
