Project snapshot
Kimbritive hosts an innovative community education series called Paps on Taps that empowers Black women by addressing critical sexual and reproductive health (SWRH) topics in a supportive, intimate environment. Launched in 2023, the series creates a platform for Black women to engage in conversations about issues such as cervical cancer, HPV prevention, sexual health, Black maternal health, and reproductive justice. The events also tackle systemic barriers like medical mistrust, inequitable care, and lack of access to race-concordant providers. Paps on Tap will expand its offerings to include interactive workshops based on healing practices, such as mindfulness and breathwork, while strengthening care navigation by connecting attendees with trusted, culturally competent healthcare providers. The initiative addresses critical health disparities, including Brooklyn’s high rates of cervical cancer and maternal mortality.
