A FEW highlights OF our "why" FOCUS AREAS
Our Focus
To connect African American/Black women and girls with educational resources to address trauma related barriers that prevent wellness and financial success.
Health & Wellness
According to the National Institutes of Health, heart disease is the #1 killer of Black women, and stroke is the #3 killer. African American women develop high blood pressure earlier in life and have higher average blood pressures compared with other women.
According to a 2022 study by the National Institutes of Health, it states that “Black women living in Prince George’s (PG) County, Maryland, have high rates of overweight and obesity. Obesity significantly impacts Black women, leading to poor physical and mental health, decreased social well-being, and a financial strain on the healthcare system.
Financial Literacy
Studies show that
Black women experience financial abuse when actions or policies conflate their inherent value with their monetary net worth and disregard present and past experiences of financial oppression and harm.

Spilling the tea walks for breast cancer awareness
Why We Walk
As we focus on Breast Cancer Awareness month, STT understands the impact on our communities. The National Institute of Health’s Office of Research on Women’s Health published a brochure indicating that Cancer is the second leading cause of death for black women, who are more likely than other women to die from breast and cervical cancers. This is usually because abnormal cells or tumors are found at a later, more advanced stage.
