Health doesn't happen in isolation. Where we live, what we breathe, the care we can access, our family history, and the support around us all matter. Sistahs Can We Talk brings trusted information, community voices, health resources, and partners together to help women and families live healthier lives.
WHAT WE CARE ABOUT
We focus on health issues that disproportionately affect women, families, and communities that have historically faced barriers to information, prevention, care, and advocacy.
We believe people deserve more than information.
They deserve access, support, a voice, and a path to action.

Where We Live, Work & Play Affects Our Health.Our environment plays a powerful role in our health. SCWT addresses environmental conditions that can contribute to health disparities—including air and water quality, chemical exposures, housing conditions, extreme heat, secondhand smoke, and neighborhood conditions—and how these factors can affect respiratory health, chronic disease, maternal and infant health, and overall well-being.
