Resilient Sisterhood Project educates and empowers women of African descent regarding common but rarely discussed diseases of the reproductive system that disproportionately affect them. They approach these diseases and associated issues through a cultural and social justice lens as they believe that poor knowledge of reproductive health is primarily related to health, racial, and socioeconomic disparities.
