Empower House

Empower House Transforming Communities through Women and Girls. Our programs reach over 3,500 women, girls and families each year.

Empower House SA (formerly The Martinez Street Women’s Center) is in its 22nd year serving San Antonio’s East, West, and South community. Our Community Health Promotora Program strengthens families by increasing access to preventative health services, facilitating referrals to basic needs resources and enhancing the knowledge and awareness of health issues in our community. Through our Girl Zone Program (after school sessions and Summer Camp) we enhance academic potential, nurture high self-esteem, and support the healthy development of girls age 11-18. We provide critical services, including a FREE Breast Cancer Clinic and FREE after school and summer camp for low-income families in San Antonio’s East and South East community.

FROM THEN TO NOW: Black Women Who Built Texas

History didn’t happen by accident. It was built. Brick by brick. Voice by voice. Action by action.

These are just a few of the countless Black women who shaped Texas. Some are from right here in San Antonio. All of them created impact that reaches far beyond state lines and continues to shape life across this country.

Too often their stories are hidden, minimized, or forgotten. We’re changing that.

👇 Drop a name in the comments of a Black woman in our community who deserves their flowers.
🏷 Tag someone doing powerful work today.
🔁 Share this to help keep these stories alive.

Because honoring the past is how we protect the future.
