Interview with Shirlene Cooper
By Lolita Lens
This women empowerment group, is going to help...keep women ahead of the disease instead of behind the disease. Just like myself, I prefer to stay ahead of it. As a peer educator, as a community organizer, or even as a facilitator or a host of the women empowerment group, I want to be in the front lines.
