Black women residing in the Greater Houston Area face historic social and cultural barriers that affect their access to empowering healthcare resources and education. Dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of Black women, the Sexual Health Empowerment and Readiness Project for Black Women (S.H.E. Ready) aims to address the sexual health disparities and high HIV/STI rates affecting Black Women through community health education and culturally tailored marketing. Black Love is Black History!
During a visit to S.H.E. Ready’s home clinic, Legacy’s Fifth Ward Clinic, we asked a few women there, “What does Black Love mean to you?” — and recorded their heartfelt responses. If you are interested in learning more about S.H.E. Ready or want to get involved, contact Sarah Nganga at SNganga@legacycommunityhealth.org.
