Join TMA’s Women of Color Affinity Group: Empowerment Through Support & Advocacy
Founded in 2019 by Holly Jones and Kaniah Gunter, TMA’s Women of Color (WOC) Affinity Group is a vibrant support and advocacy community dedicated to uplifting women of color living with myositis. Through the powerful 3E’s—Encouragement, Education, and Empowerment—our mission is to unite and empower women of color affected by myositis and to advocate for their health and well-being. By providing education, support, resources, and the backing of TMA’s expertise, we are determined to reduce the disparity gap in myositis outcomes for people of color. As we foster a community of strength, resiliency, and inspiration; together, we will break barriers, challenge inequalities, and create a future where every woman, caregiver, and loved one affected by myositis, regardless of their race, can thrive.
Each month, WOC come together for impactful workshops and support meetings, empowering participants to take what they’ve learned and share awareness about myositis within their communities. Whether you’re looking for guidance, solidarity, or the opportunity to advocate for others, this group offers a space for connection, education, and positive change.
