Linda Jackson Cocroft is the founder and Publisher of BLACK WOMEN 50+ HEALTH & LIFESTYLES MAGAZINE. Created in 2003 to honor while also continuing her mother’s legacy of service to women, it is one of the few publications in the U.S. devoted exclusively to this demographic.
Jackson-Cocroft is also a public speaker who shares transitional messages designed to nudge women closer to a higher consciousness and life purpose. She says, “When speaking with women, through articles in BW50+ or face-to-face, my goal is to magnify their embrace of personal responsibility for developing physical, spiritual, and intellectual well-being. I encourage women to reconsider past experiences, especially hardships and trauma, as life lessons needed to assume authority over their personal and career goals.”
She has received awards in recognition of her advocacy for women’s health via BW50+MAGAZINE. She earned a B.S. degree from the University of WI-Milwaukee. And as a lifelong learner has completed countless classes/seminars, etc. In addition to being a member of the National Hook-Up of Black Women, Inc. (Milwaukee, WI Chapter), Sister Jackson-Cocroft also has membership in the Cream City (WI) Links Inc., Wisconsin Association of Black Media, Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Institute, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health —Advisory Board, National Institutes of Health, ALL OF US Medical Research, Advisory Board at Froedtert/Medical College of Wisconsin, the International Association of Sickle Cell Disease, and Church Women United.
