Twenty years ago in 1999, two Black women decided they would not be victims, but rather help others become victors. HIV-positive and living in Liberty City, they noted the need for an agency that could serve the community in a culturally-relevant way. Today, Empower U has an expert and dedicated team of doctors, staff and executive leadership who compassionately serve in the trenches of the community.
