About Us
The Positive Experience is a Black women centered not for profit organization whose mission is to teach Black women and their circles preventative and restorative HIV practices. We accomplish this through distinct programming for women who have experienced HIV, and by partnering with established non-profits, CBOs (community based organization), and ASOs (AIDS service organization) to li
ft their HIV arm through creating marketing strategies/campaigns, events, conferences that focus on HIV education, awareness and prevention. Who We Serve
The Positive Experience is for all Black women, HIV- and HIV+, and those who love and care for Black women. Founded and directed by LáDeia Joyce, a Black woman marketing expert living with HIV in Memphis, TN, The Positive Experience was conceptualized, designed and created to serve Black women through direct services, and through organizational consulting for agencies providing services to Black women. Through this two pronged approach, The Positive Experience seeks to broadly impact and improve the resources available for Black women regarding HIV. The Positive Experience’s vision is that Black women living with HIV are emboldened to live full, healthy lives out loud while eradicating the stifling effects of fear, shame, stigma, stereotypes, and death.
