Champions of Change

Throughout history, Black women have been at the forefront of social movements and driving progress—including helping to end the HIV epidemic—while often being overlooked. It’s time we honor and recognize them for their exceptional leadership.

In Champions of Change: A Celebration of Black Women Changemakers in HIV, we’re proud to honor ten Black women leaders in HIV who have been leading the way forward for decades. From community leaders to health researchers to HIV pioneers, the legacy and influence of these inspirational women can be felt every day. We honor these trailblazers, how they've paved the way for change in their communities and beyond, and how they're helping uplift the next generation of Black women leaders in HIV.
