  Before Dazon Dixon Diallo was known as an outspoken educator and advocate for women affected by HIV/AIDS, she began her career at the Atlanta Feminist Women's Health Center.During her time there, Dazon witnessed the harmful effects of poverty and a lack of education on women's sexual health.Unable to idly sit by, Dazon collaborated with other women and founded SisterLove, Inc. in 1989.The organization's goal is to develop and promote a woman-centered, pleasure-based approach to HIV/AIDS prevention, self-help, and safer-sex efforts.Additionally, SisterLove provides much needed housing, education, support, and advocacy services to the Metropolitan Atlanta area through its Healthy Love Program, the HIV/AIDS Prevention Project, and Housing and Support Services.Dazon has also connected with women in South Africa to form cross-continental alliances to build women's visibility and power in the fight against AIDS.She is fulfilling her mission to eradicate the impact of HIV/AIDS and other reproductive health challenges upon women and their families through education, prevention, support, and human rights advocacy in the U.S. and around the world.See: www.sisterlove.org.
