On Tuesday, October 6 member of Sister Act went to CA Johnson Preparatory Academy to discuss “Healthy Relationship and STI Prevention.” During this session we engaged in a dialogue with 55 young ladies showing them what a healthy relationship, look like and how you know if you are in a healthy or unhealthy relationship, and what to do if you are in an unhealthy relationship. This session was an hour long session, which gave us time to ask and answer any question or concerns these young ladies had in regards to HIV/ AIDS, STIs and information on Healthy or Unhealthy Relationships.
Sister Act members performed a skit to demonstrate an unhealthy relationship and a healthy relationship. After this performance, members of Sister Act asked the audience of 55 young ladies what is the healthy relationship and which is not. Most of the ladies raised their hands in response to the questions that were asked. We even asked the young ladies to raise their hand if they know the proper way to put on and take off a condom. About seven girls raised their hand and only three of the seven knew the proper way, but after we explained what we learn from our session with Ms. Trina Scott, we were able to inform them about how to use a condom effectively. We performed O.P.R.A.H, which a technique that we learn about condom usage and its steps. The young ladies was impress with our skills and what they had learned that they stayed behind to ask further questions about O.P.R.A. H or how to get help within their relationship. We informed the young ladies about agencies that our organization is partner with to help them within their relationship or where they can go to get tested for STIs and HIV/AIDs.
This experience was truly a success. We are looking forward into interacting with these young ladies and many other high school students to teach them about condom usages and healthy relationships.

There can be more activities such as this at your school and other schools located in your local area. Just grab a group of friends and ask your guidance couselor if its okay for you to do a session afterschool to talk about different issuses that are affecting young women of color. This is a great way to get start and if you need help in planning, I can help you as much as I can.
