Our dual framework connects systemic advocacy with individual empowerment.
We believe equity happens when we transform both the systems that shape health access and the daily habits that support healing and prevention.
Bringing Systemic and Individual Change Into Balance
the intention behind our approach
We equip individuals with culturally adapted strategies for nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection. Nutrient density (Nutrivore) is a central tool for prevention and for managing chronic illness.
We address the root causes of health inequities by tackling social determinants of health. This includes advocating for equitable healthcare access, building inclusive systems, and advancing prevention through education, partnerships, and policy.
Access, Inclusion & Prevention
Systemic Level
Autoimmune Protocol & Nutrivore
Individual Level
We champion equitable policies, research, and representation in healthcare, partnering with community leaders and institutions to ensure that diverse voices shape the systems that affect them most.
Advocacy
pillar #2
We increase understanding of autoimmune and chronic illness in BIPOC communities and within healthcare. Through education, outreach, and storytelling, we make invisible conditions visible and culturally understood.
Awareness
pillar #1
Our work is grounded in five strategic pillars that keep us accountable to both systemic change and individual empowerment. These pillars shape how we design programs, build partnerships, and measure impact. Together, they guide us in raising awareness, driving advocacy, taking collective action, assessing progress, and aligning systems with the needs and priorities of BIPOC communities.
Our Five Key Pillars
Action
We translate knowledge into programs that improve real lives. From community health events to workshops and training, our initiatives connect learning with lived experience and create pathways to care.
pillar #3
We bring partners, providers, and community members together to create solutions that last. Alignment means bridging silos so that prevention, access, and inclusion are shared goals across every level of our work.
Alignment
pillar #5
We measure outcomes and listen to community feedback to track progress over time. Data and lived experience guide our decisions, helping us refine our strategies and strengthen accountability.
Assessment
pillar #4
Impact Expansion
& Growth
Our focus is twofold: to strengthen the impact of our work and to guide intentional growth across every program.
IMPACT EXPANSION
We deepen the quality of our five core programs: The AIP BIPOC Roundtable, The AIP BIPOC Community, our Community Care Collaborative, ROCK Wellness, and Powering Advocacy. Each program is refined to strengthen partnerships, improve cultural relevance, and ensure measurable outcomes that reflect community priorities.
GROWTH
We expand thoughtfully, building partnerships and resources that extend access without losing connection. Growth for ABN means scaling what works, reaching new communities, and creating sustainable systems that align advocacy, education, and care.
Together, these priorities ensure that ABN continues to evolve with purpose, accountability, and measurable progress.
Strategic Focus Areas
Reduce Health Disparities
Increase access to culturally relevant care, education, and wellness resources that support earlier diagnosis and equitable outcomes.
Amplify Advocacy & Representation
Strengthen policy and research participation to ensure BIPOC patients and providers shape the future of autoimmune and chronic illness care.
Build Organizational Capacity & Sustainability
Develop systems, leadership, and partnerships that keep ABN adaptive, accountable, and community-aligned.
We’re improving lives through outreach, education, and connection that make wellness more accessible and culturally grounded. From local events to national partnerships, every effort brings us closer to equitable autoimmune and chronic illness care for all.
Creating Healthier Communities Together
our community impact
Each step forward is guided by five key pillars that drive our mission in motion.
We are investing in the long-term sustainability of our mission, building systems, leadership, and data capacity that allow ABN to grow responsibly. This includes diversifying funding, strengthening evaluation, and scaling our impact for years to come.
Sustainable Systems and Infrastructure
We strengthen advocacy networks and partnerships that elevate BIPOC voices in public health, research, and policy. By connecting lived experience with data and expertise, ABN helps shape decisions that make prevention and care inclusive and culturally relevant.
Greater Influence and Advocacy
We are growing a nationwide community where connection and representation drive healing. The AIP BIPOC Community remains a trusted space for learning, support, and empowerment, helping individuals feel seen, supported, and equipped to manage their health.
Stronger Peer and Community Support
We aim to close the gap in autoimmune and chronic-illness outcomes by expanding access to diagnosis, treatment, and culturally responsive providers. Through education, partnerships, and prevention initiatives, ABN ensures that equitable care becomes the standard, not the exception.
Broader Access to Care
We’re building a future where autoimmune and chronic-illness care reflect the realities, strengths, and needs of diverse communities. Our long-term goals guide how we grow, partner, and lead across systems of health, research, and community engagement.
