Founder

For more than 22 years, Dr. Sharita Ambrose has dedicated her career to improving the health and well-being of underserved communities, with a special focus on Black women's health, HIV prevention, and reproductive justice. A Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES), Certified Community Health Worker Instructor (CHWI), and Doctor of Health Education specializing in Health Promotion, Dr. Ambrose has spent her career transforming research into meaningful community action. Her doctoral research explored Black women's awareness of and willingness to use PrEP, deepening her commitment to addressing the systemic barriers that contribute to health inequities.

"I am committed to Black women's holistic health. I believe Black women's voices deserve to be heard in healthcare, and that spaces should be created for Black women, by Black women."

For more than 15 years, Dr. Ambrose has trained healthcare providers across Texas to strengthen HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care navigation. She has equipped hundreds of professionals with the skills needed to better serve communities disproportionately impacted by HIV while advocating for culturally responsive, community-driven approaches to health education.

Inspired by a vision of health equity, Dr. Ambrose co-founded Allure Alliance Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing disparities in sexual health, HIV, and reproductive health among Black women. Through innovative programs such as QUEEN TALK, KISS & TELL, Community Health Worker training, and mental health initiatives, Allure Alliance empowers women with education, resources, advocacy, and supportive spaces where they can thrive.

Today, Allure Alliance is growing—but so is the need. While program funding helps deliver services, unrestricted operational support is what keeps the organization running. Your contribution helps sustain the staff, technology, outreach, training, and administrative infrastructure needed to expand programs, reach more communities, and respond to emerging health challenges.

Every donation is an investment in healthier communities, stronger families, and a future where every Black woman has equitable access to the knowledge, resources, and support she deserves. Together, we can ensure that Allure Alliance continues creating lasting change—one conversation, one community, and one life at a time.
