S.H.E. Circle - A wellness community by and for African American lesbian and bisexual women.
Whenever we come together as women – especially as African American women – there is magic and power!
Based on the principle of Ujima – “collective work and responsibility to build and maintain our community together”– S.H.E. Circle harnesses the power of this sisterhood or sistahood to empower, energize, and engage African women in a personal journey to healthy living and dis-ease prevention.

Let S.H.E. Circle be a starting point for you to rediscover yourself. Learn more about your body, mind and spirit - and let us begin a journey toward wellness, wholeness and health - together.
