About the New Voices Health Innovators Hub

The 2025 New Voices Health Innovators Hub, hosted inside the Unbothered Wellness Sanctuary at the ESSENCE Festival of Culture, showcases nine visionary health and wellness entrepreneurs driving innovation and equity in underserved communities. Curated by the New Voices Foundation, this dynamic experience offers founders the chance to engage directly with thousands of festival-goers, share their products and solutions, and connect with funders, media, and health equity leaders.

Through interactive booths, networking events, and high-visibility festival programming, the Health Innovators Hub provides a platform for founders to amplify their impact, build strategic partnerships, and promote transformative healthcare solutions that meet the needs of communities too often left behind.

This initiative is part of New Voices’ ongoing commitment to equipping entrepreneurs of color with access, capital, and community—ensuring they’re not just part of the conversation, but leading it.
