In honor of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, The Afiya Center proudly presents the End With Red Gala, a vibrant celebration of Black womxn living with HIV, recognizing their courage, strength, and resilience in a world that often fails to see their brilliance.

With this year’s theme, Life in Full Bloom, we honor the revolutionary act of living authentically and unapologetically. This theme pays homage to the tradition of giving flowers to those we love while they are here to appreciate them. The End With Red Gala is a space where Black womxn—often the unseen champions of liberation work—can simply be, receive their flowers, and bask in the joy they inspire.

The End With Red Gala is more than an event; it’s a movement. Funds raised directly support HIV programming designed for Black womxn, empowering them to live in full bloom with their status and encouraging a life of authenticity and boldness. The event also marks the kickoff of Herstory Month and includes the launch of the Barbara Cambridge Scholarship, which will provide critical support to undergraduates pursuing public health and similar fields.

This annual fundraiser brings together community partners, legislators, and supporters to celebrate Black womxn and gender-expansive folk. Together, we’re amplifying the call to destigmatize and decriminalize HIV while building a brighter future.
