BLACMail Productions, led by CEO and founder Spencer Collins, is proud to present its 14th Annual World AIDS Day Event, taking place on Friday, Dec. 13, at The Miracle Theater, located at 226 South Market Street in Inglewood.
The evening will commence with doors opening at 6 p.m., and the show starting at 7 p.m.
This year’s theme, “Celebrating the Black Woman,” highlights the resilience, contributions, and advocacy of Black women in the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDS.
The event will honor Sheryl Lee Ralph and Vanessa Estelle Williams, two trailblazing activists who have used their platforms to champion HIV/AIDS awareness and empower marginalized communities.
Lee Ralph, an Emmy-winning actress and long-standing advocate, premiered her impactful documentary, “Unexpected,” on Hulu on December 1, 2023. The film sheds light on the experiences of Black women living with HIV in the southern United States, focusing on their strength and the support networks they build.
Williams, celebrated for her work in film and television, has also been a dedicated advocate for women’s rights and health, furthering awareness within Black and Brown communities.
This event aligns with World AIDS Day’s mission of fostering awareness, reducing stigma, and advocating for health equity.
While the global observance takes place annually on Dec. 1, this special gathering on Dec. 13 underscores the ongoing importance of the fight against HIV/AIDS in communities disproportionately affected by the epidemic, especially Black women.
“As a Black man with a Black mother and four beautiful Black sisters, it is crucial to me that women’s rights are upheld and that they are celebrated every day,” says Spencer Collins.
“This year’s event is dedicated to the Black woman, acknowledging her strength, resilience, and invaluable contributions to our communities.”
The 14th Annual World AIDS Day Event by BLACMail Productions promises an evening of inspiration, advocacy, and celebration, spotlighting the power of storytelling to bring about meaningful change.
