Sometimes, you get to look back at where the story began and realize just how far the journey has traveled.

We are honored to share that a piece of the story behind our Founder & CEO, L Nicole Stringfellow’s journey in HIV service and her continued commitment to helping end the HIV epidemic has been captured in a special book curated by the Emory COMPASS Coordinating Center, featuring the powerful photography of Sean Black.

Long before FABRIC became an organization, there was a commitment to people, to community, to dignity, and to ensuring that those impacted by HIV were seen, heard, supported, and valued.

That commitment became service.
Service became purpose.
And purpose helped give rise to FABRIC.

Today, the work continues across the Mississippi Delta and beyond, shaped by many of the same values that were present at the beginning: access, belonging, community, healing, voice, and the belief that people are always more than a diagnosis.

To have a chapter of that journey preserved alongside the stories of others who have dedicated themselves to this work is both meaningful and humbling.

This is more than a look backward. It is a reminder that the work we begin today can become part of a much larger story tomorrow.

Here’s to honoring where we started, celebrating how far we’ve come, and continuing the work toward ending the HIV epidemic. ❤️

Sometimes the most powerful conversation is the one we have with the person we are still becoming. 💜

While attending USCHA, our Founder & CEO, L. Nicole Stringfellow, was asked one simple question:

“What would you tell the future you?”

Thirty seconds. One question. A moment to reflect on the journey, the lessons, the growth, and what still lies ahead.

Here’s her message to the woman waiting somewhere in the future. ✨

Nearly 100 Voices. Two Days. One Powerful Beginning.

FABRIC, Incorporated just completed the first in-person data collection experience for The Listening Project at the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. State Meeting in Greenwood, Mississippi, and the experience exceeded our expectations.

Over the course of two days, nearly 100 men completed our statewide listening survey and, just as importantly, many stopped to talk.

Our Board President, LaTasha Rice, and CEO, L. Nicole Stringfellow, managed the listening table and had the opportunity to engage directly with participants. The men shared their experiences, perspectives, concerns, ideas, and wisdom about wellbeing and what they believe is needed to create meaningful spaces and opportunities for men.

We went to Greenwood to gather information.
We left having learned.

Those conversations reminded us why this work must begin with listening. The survey findings and voices gathered across Mississippi will help FABRIC develop a strategic plan for a future men’s initiative grounded in what men tell us they actually need, value, and would participate in.

We also celebrated several grand-prize winners throughout the meeting!

This was only the beginning.

Our goal is to hear from 500+ men across Mississippi, representing different generations, communities, backgrounds, and life experiences.

We’re not building a program. We’re building it with the voices of men across Mississippi.

To every man who stopped, talked, reflected, laughed, challenged our thinking, and shared his voice: thank you. We heard you.

We imagined it. We built it. And yesterday, the Delta experienced it. 💜

Duafe: A Taste of Being was everything we hoped a community wellbeing experience could be: welcoming, engaging, peaceful, educational, interactive, and filled with connection.

Throughout the experience, participants moved through The Balance Studio, The Nourish Kitchen, Prosperity Place, The Power of My Voice, The Reflection Lounge, and The Sound Sanctuary, discovering different ways to think about and practice wellbeing in everyday life.

But beautiful spaces do not create themselves.

💜 To our Experience Leaders, thank you for taking the vision and making each destination your own.

💚 To our volunteers, thank you for welcoming, guiding, assisting, moving, organizing, and helping the entire experience flow with care.

🌿 And to every person who walked through the doors, picked up a wellbeing passport, tried something new, asked a question, paused, reflected, moved, listened, learned, or simply allowed yourself a moment to BE: thank you.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the B.B. King Museum & Delta Interpretive Center for partnering with FABRIC, Incorporated and providing such a meaningful setting for this community experience.

And we are deeply grateful to the Gilead Foundation for the funding that helped make Duafe: A Taste of Being possible and accessible to our community at no cost.

This was wellbeing experienced, not simply discussed.
