Today’s Health Activist Writer’s Challenge Month assignment was to write a six-sentence story. I decided to write mine about how my sorority, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., has helped me raise awareness about lupus in the Washington, DC metro area.

One day not-so-long ago, Katina Rae Stapleton discovered that her sorority sister from college worked for the Lupus Foundation of America, DC/MD/VA chapter (LFA-DMV). Katina’s soror encouraged her to become involved in the LFA-DMV and later recruited Katina to become the 2011 DC Walk for Lupus Now Co-Chair.  Other members of Katina’s undergraduate and graduate chapters of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc.  supported her by walking in DC and Baltimore to increase awareness of lupus. One evening last year, Katina went to a social networking meet-up hosted by the Black Public Relations Society of Washington, DC.  At the event, Katina met her soror Ananda Leeke and later wrote a guest-blog on lupus & social networking for Ananda during Digital Sisterhood Month. At the meet-up, Katina also met her soror Kamaria T. Richmond, who later invited her to talk about lupus on the upcoming May 6, 2012 Stroke Diva Fabulous Show (7:25 pm EST).

Hope you enjoyed my very short story.

Take care,

Katina Rae Stapleton
