Resilient Sisterhood Project RSP is a window into reproductive health and wellness for women of African descent.

As an organization, we approach diseases of the female reproductive system and their associated issues through a cultural and social justice lens, because we believe that poor knowledge of reproductive health is primarily related to health, racial, and socioeconomic disparities. Our mission is to educate and empower women of African descent regarding common but rarely discussed diseases of the reproductive system that disproportionately affect them.

Pain and fever during pregnancy can be scary, and deciding whether it's safe to take medication can make things even more stressful.

The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine continues to recommend acetaminophen as a safe, first-line medication for pain and fever during pregnancy when clinically indicated.

Talk with your healthcare provider about what’s appropriate for you.

There is no single "best" birth control method, there's the method that's right for you.

Your contraception should reflect your health, reproductive goals, preferences, lifestyle, access, and comfort.

The important part is that you have the information and freedom to make the decision yourself.
