IMPACT & PROGRAMMING

A sisterhood of women who understand the lived experience of MS and other chronic illnesses. Through in-person Wellness Week(end)s, virtual meetups, and our vibrant private Facebook Group, members find belonging, shared wisdom, and inspiration from peers living full lives — heels, wheelchairs, and everything in between.

From decoding symptoms to understanding insurance and medication options, we equip women with the knowledge to become “Professional Patients” — capable, confident advocates who know what to ask, what to expect, and how to navigate care.

We disrupt the narrative by making sure Black women see themselves in MS, lupus and other chronic illnesses. From searchable images to our media presence and storytelling events, we ensure that no woman gets diagnosed and feels like she’s alone in the world.

We help women channel personal transformation into public impact — whether that’s supporting a newly diagnosed sister, showing up on MS Advocacy Day, or becoming a local chapter leader. We foster strength that radiates outward, reshaping the experience for generations to come.

We break down barriers to clinical trial participation and medical research by centering Black women’s voices, trust, and experiences. Through workshops, partnerships, and storytelling, we demystify the research process and rebuild confidence in it — so our community can show up as informed participants, advocates, and even researchers.

We also plant seeds for long-term change by championing Black women in STEM and expanding access to culturally competent care. Because better outcomes begin with research that includes us, and providers who see us.
