You’re the Medical Director of the Living Well PrEP Clinic. Why should more women consider it?
Many women assume they’re in monogamous relationships. Reality is, you can only account for your actions. With rising rates of HIV among Black women, especially due to down-low partners, PrEP is smart protection. No stigma, just safety.
You also founded Three Twenty Girls, Inc. Why is that work meaningful?
We started it to honor Cortland Arrington, a high school senior who was killed by gun violence just before graduation. She wanted to become a nurse. We now offer scholarships and mentorship to young women in Birmingham City Schools, especially those pursuing medicine or STEM. It’s my way of reaching back.
For the woman who feels overwhelmed and unseen, what do you want her to know right now?
You are not alone. Every woman has felt what you’re feeling. The key is to take the next small step—and don’t do it alone. Find your tribe. Build your support system. You’re not meant to carry it all by yourself.
