The Afiya Center (TAC) was founded in response to the increasing disparities between HIV incidences nationwide and the extraordinary prevalence of HIV among Black womxn and girls in Texas. TAC has long recognized that change can only occur when looking at the systemic and environmental concerns that position Black womxn to experience health disparities at higher rates than other individuals. TAC is unique because they serve as the only Black reproductive justice organization in North Texas. TAC intentionally prioritizes their affinity to serve Black womxn, girls, femmes, and transgender/gender non-conforming people (TGNC) throughout the state, consistent and unapologetic in the quest to advocate for Black womxn in Texas.
TAC seeks to assist Black womxn in elevating and addressing their day-to-day experiences as a historically marginalized group through the use of the reproductive justice lens, believing that this platform serves not only as an avenue for raising awareness but also for establishing true advocacy work rooted in self-actualization, powerful storytelling, and knowledgeable electoral engagement.
Your gift is vital in helping The Afiya Center lead the way in Texas to provide programs and resources that will positively transform the reproductive health of Black womxn and ultimately eliminate the harmful effects of reproductive oppression.
