Sis, Me Too
Sis, Me Too is a support network that is aimed at countering social isolation among women who are challenged by a myriad of social disparities, i.e. survivors of Intimate Partner Violence, poverty, STI/HIV transmission vulnerability, former incarceration and substance abuse.
Gatherings are currently convening monthly (see our Events below) which will address the need for a trusted sisterhood, a sense of belonging, and applicable community linkages for the overall well being of the woman.
Growth happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the doctor’s offices to help ensure women who are living with HIV have the necessary support.
“A diagnosis is not a burden but a rebirth to see life through a different lens and find a way to use your life and experience to inspire, uplift and encourage others.”
