Empowering Black Women & Girls
in Southern Maryland through Advocacy
Welcome.
We are the Southern Maryland Chapter. Founded in August 2023, our Chapter is part of a dynamic national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization comprised of over 60 Chapters throughout the United States.
With over 140 Black women in the Southern Maryland Chapter, we actively support our national advocacy goals, implemented at the community level, within the areas of Health, Economic Empowerment, Education, and Public Policy. Our programs exemplify the core values and mission of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc.

TAKE THE TEST. KNOW YOUR STATUS.
World AIDS Day serves as an important reminder that we must remain steadfast in our commitment to prevent new HIV infections and provide essential services to all people living with HIV globally. In 2025, marks the 38th World AIDS Day. Take the test to know your status. While the attention is on December 1, the real focus of HIV/AIDS is 365 days.
The first World AIDS Day took place in 1988, providing a platform to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS and honor the lives affected by the epidemic. There has been significant progress in addressing HIV and AIDS thanks to advancements in medical research, increased access to treatment and prevention, and a broader understanding of the virus. Follow the HIV.gov. for more information.
Again, take the test. Know your status - TODAY!
