The Akron Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and Zeta Alpha Chapter International Awareness and Involvement Committees successfully hosted the impactful “Let’s Talk About Sex” event at the University of Akron Student Union theatre.
In collaboration with community partners including Akron AIDS Collaborative, Gilead Sciences, Equitas Health, and Avita Pharmacy the program provided attendees with a wealth of knowledge centered on HIV awareness, STI/STD education, the importance of knowing one’s status, and practicing safe and informed s*xual health behaviors.
Guest speakers Taba Aleem, Samyell Terry, and Tamara Staley delivered engaging and informative presentations, thoughtfully addressing a wide range of questions from the student body and fostering an open, educational dialogue.
Akron Alumnae awarded "10" gift cards of $20 each to scholars who answered the questions correctly post the event.
Attendees not only gained critical, life-enhancing information but also left with lunch, curated swag bags, and essential safe-s*x resources reinforcing the committees’ commitment to holistic community engagement and health empowerment. The UA scholars asked if this event can be repeated in the near future to further enhance "safe s*x practices".
