The Remember the Ribbon initiative is dedicated to improving the health and social environment of underserved communities in regards to the HIV/AIDS epidemic through awareness, prevention, and education. We hope to build upon the work of our previous years and go even further in the mission to break down barriers. We hope to accomplish this by creating challenges that bring the topic of HIV/AIDs to the forefront, increasing PrEP education and building new partnerships. Our vision is to fight the stigma and improve the health outcomes of those living with HIV/AIDS while reducing the rate of new infections through education.

Alexis Warren

Hi everyone! My name is Alexis Warren, and I’m a third-year pharmacy student at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy. I joined SNPhA because I’m passionate about serving underserved communities and wanted to be part of an organization that focuses on patient advocacy and professional development. I was drawn to pharmacy through my love for science and desire to build meaningful, long-term relationships with patients. Outside of school, I enjoy doing hair and braiding, spending time with my goddaughter, and watching scary movies.

Fun Fact: A fun fact about me is that I’m currently building a party decoration business called “Perfectly Wished” that combines balloons and sweet treats! I’m excited to be part of SNPhA and can’t wait to connect with you all!
