Kimberly McClellan, EdD, MSN, CRNP, the featured speaker, will present The Promise-Keepers: Group Mediated Education by and for African-Born Women Seeking HIV Care in Philadelphia.

African-born, HIV-positive women living in the U.S. continue to experience care disparity in access to and control over their treatment when receiving professional health care services. In an effort to find ways to redress this injustice, this study uses the case of “The Promise Keepers” to explore the role of community-mediated education on community and individual health. Through in-depth life history interviews, a group interview, and extensive participant-observation, this research illuminates the relevance and positive effects of education in the restoration of self-efficacy among community of practice members.
