The Divine Feminine: Black Women, Faith & HIV

Join us for The Divine Feminine: Black Women, Faith & HIV — a powerful conversation exploring how faith and the lived experiences of Black women intersect with HIV.


Black women have long been the anchors of our communities—shaping faith traditions, holding families together, and leading movements for justice. Yet when conversations about HIV, sexuality, and women's bodies arise, faith spaces can fill with silence and stigma.


Together, we will reflect on the ways Black women have navigated these spaces, the power they hold to shift narratives, and what it means to reclaim spiritual language that affirms womanhood, autonomy, and healing.
