✨Celebrating the power, wisdom, and impact of women in our community. ✨

In honor of Women’s History Month, COSA was proud to be part of a meaningful panel discussion on the campus of Alabama State University, moderated by our very own Kayla Stephens. The event created space for open conversation, shared knowledge, and fellowship, bringing together voices committed to empowering women and strengthening our communities.

Moments like these remind us that when women lead, connect, and uplift one another, lasting change happens. 💜

Kayla Stephens, Program Manager for HBCU Rise, sits down at the COSA main office to discuss the dangers of va**ng and its harmful effects on the body. Education is the key to confronting the issue!

Va**ng is dangerous.
Va**ng is deadly.
Va**ng is NOT safe.

“Right now, we’re seeing a lot of people ages 18-25 starting to v**e a lot more,” said program manager for the HBCU Rise Project for COSA, Kayla Stephens.

🇺🇸 We were honored to celebrate the 1-Year Anniversary of the River Region Veterans Coalition. When organizations come together with a shared commitment to supporting veterans and their families, real change happens.

At COSA, we believe prevention, wellness, and community partnership go hand in hand and we’re grateful to be part of this unified effort. The best is yet to come.

What an incredible evening celebrating the 1-Year Anniversary of the River Region Veterans Coalition alongside so many dedicated veterans, partners, and community supporters. 🇺🇸

In just one year, RRVC has grown into a strong, unified coalition bringing together veteran service organizations, community leaders, and supporters across the River Region, all working toward one shared mission: supporting veterans and their families.

This anniversary is not just a milestone, but a reflection of what can be accomplished when a community comes together in service to those who served. We are grateful for every organization and individual who has helped build this coalition and continues to stand beside our veterans.
The mission continues, and the best is yet to come.
