Together We Rise, One Affirmation At A Time
The Affirmation Station, provided by the African American Health Coalition, is a transformative mental health initiative designed to empower individuals through positive self-affirmation. This traveling exhibit invites event attendees to engage with themselves in a unique and meaningful way. As participants look into the mirror, they are encouraged to express positive affirmations verbally, reinforcing their self-worth and confidence. These affirmations are then written down on our affirmation board, creating a collective display of positivity and support.

Prescribing a Healthier Future Through Clinical Trial Participation
The Power RX Pharmacy is a captivating activation that educates and empowers communities about the critical role of clinical trial participation in developing effective treatments. Recently featured at the African American Health Power Summit, this innovative experience is designed to drive greater diversity in medical research.
Visitors have the opportunity to create their own "prescriptions" for health and wellness on an RX pad, serving as a concrete reminder of their dedication to personal health.
By combining education, empowerment, and a playful approach, the PowerRX Pharmacy initiative effectively engages and motivates individuals, tackling a critical public health issue and establishing itself as an essential resource for organizations committed to improving diversity and representation in medical research.
