                    Big shoutout to our unstoppable Founder & CEO, Rebkha Atnafou-Boyer, MPH, for delivering a powerful speech at the Baltimore Entrepreneurship & Leadership Network (BELN)!

                    As the former Founding Director of the Bunting Neighborhood Leadership Program at Johns Hopkins University, Rebkha has spent decades championing community leaders, amplifying neighborhood voices, and equipping changemakers with the tools they need to transform Baltimore from within.


                    Through BELN’s mission to support entrepreneurs and leaders - especially in underserved communities - Rebkha continues to do what she does best: build people up, bridge connections, and turn bold ideas into reality.

                    We are proud to witness her legacy of leadership and equity in action.

                    Ambassadors Impact

                    In a powerful display of grassroots impact, a project funded by the Baltimore City Health Department showcases dedicated ambassadors and advocates championing sexual health promotion, HIV/STI prevention, and the awareness of PrEP and PEP. These ambassadors, drawn from trusted community-based organizations, have the unique advantage of deep connections within the neighborhoods they serve.
