(BLACK PR WIRE) – Gather your girlfriends, book club, church group, sorority sisters and claim the living room for a Girls’ Night In!
Fourteen time Grammy Award-winning artist and HIV advocate, Alicia Keys, is joining with Greater Than AIDS to host a National Watch Party and Twitter chat about women and HIV/AIDS in America on Sunday, January 19 from 8-9 p.m. EST (5-6 p,m. PST).
Ms. Keys is urging women and their loved ones to come together to watch and discuss “We Are Empowered,” an intimate and inspiring half-hour conversation she had with five women living with HIV in the U.S. Ms. Keys will be live tweeting throughout the hour #WeAreEmpowered.
VH1.com will stream the “We Are Empowered” video, which will also be available along with a companion discussion guide on www.greaterthan.org/empowered.
Of the more than 1.1 million people living with HIV in the United States today, one in four is a woman. If current trends continue, it is estimated that one in 32 Black women will contract HIV in her lifetime.
Keys is highlighting the power of women – as mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, partners and people living with HIV – to change the course of this disease through every day actions.
