Through its Physical and Mental Healththrust, Collin County
Alumnae purposes to impact the well-being of its members, their families
and the communities they serve with a focus on addressing health
issues disparately impacting the African-American family. Our goal is
to encourage behavioral lifestyle change for the physical, mental, and
spiritual well-being of African-American families.
One of the chapter’s signature events is the Taboo Tea held
annually in March. The purpose of the tea is to create a forum where
women can have open dialogue on “Catching, Coping and Conquering” those
diseases and health concerns that disproportionately impact
African-American women. The Taboo Tea includes a panel of
African-American female medical professionals who are experts in the
fields of internal medicine, breast surgical oncology, obstetrics and
gynecology, psychiatry, nursing, etc. and allows for open participation
and dialogue from attendees on the various medical concerns.
