EmpowerHERed Resilience: Advancing Black Women’s Health Together

Black Women’s Health Institute
EmpowHERed Resilience is a transformative storytelling experience and institute for Black women to gather, reflect, and heal. Through a four-part video series, participants engage with lived stories across HIV prevention, care, and long-term wellness, uplifting sexual health and honoring the full spectrum of Black women’s experiences. This session fosters connection, affirms lived wisdom, and builds supportive networks, empowering Black women to move forward with strength, purpose, and possibility.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe at least two self-care, resilience, and advocacy tools that support Black women’s wellness.
- Explore community-centered approaches to sexual health across the HIV continuum.
- Identify one practice to amplify Black women’s voices and strengthen collective care.
- Discuss how fear, uncertainty, and social conditions impact sexual health decisions and access to HIV prevention and care.
