RoyalTea takes the innate power of Black women and brews it with sexual empowerment to pour protection and pleasure tips into our community. Sipping this Tea will equip us to:

• MAKE decisions for and about our bodies without shame, stigma, or guilt
• TAKE control of our sexual health and speak up for our needs loudly and unapologetically
• DETERMINE our path for reproductive choices and STI prevention in healthy ways
• IMPROVE the way we show up for ourselves in love, sex, and relationships

We’re here as a resource for Black women to refresh the relationship with our bodies (she misses you), at our own pace (we are not all the same), and create tactics to enrich our sexual health, sexual care and sexual pleasure (yep, that’s important too).
No longer will Black women have the highest new cases of HIV and levels of mortality for every major cause of death. Powered with RoyalTea, we’ll be armed with hot tips to sip on for our proper care.
Sisters, let’s sip together and amplify our power because like Nikki Giovanni said, there is a reason for our Ego Tripping.

I am…
so perfect
so divine
so ethereal
so surreal
I cannot be comprehended
except by my permission.
I mean . . . I . . . can fly like a bird in the sky . . .

HIV & STIs

CABWHP elevated our outreach and awareness efforts in the areas of HIV/AIDs and Sexually Transmitted Infections via partnerships with the National Black Women's Health Imperative (BWHI) and the California Black Health Network (CBHN). This work is part of an initiative of The California Wellness Foundation on HIV/AIDS/STIs prevention and treatment for women of color.  ​

Community Forums on HIV/STIs
The California Black Women’s Health Project is currently supporting community forums to address the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS and STIs on women of color across California to better ascertain the support and provisions necessary for tailored prevention, primary care, health education and outreach to women of color at risk for, or living with, HIV, AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections.
