A Sista’s Touch A Sista’s Touch is a tax-exempt (501c3) nonprofit public benefit corporation formed in the State of California in January 2017 to serve the Oakland and greater Bay Area communities. The mission of A Sista’s Touch is to cultivate and celebrate Black Excellence through the personal and professional inspirations of African American women across all generations, with a foundational focus on our adolescent girls. The aim of A Sista’s Touch is threefold: Edify, Elevate, and Celebrate Excellence. Our platform is to provide fundamental resources to Edify in areas of new interests, to offer necessary support to Elevate in pursued interests, and to cultivate communal success by Celebrating Excellence. In 2018, we began hosting, We Run Oakland: For Our Children, an annual charity 5k run/walk in Oakland that connects the community with local organizations who stand on the front lines in providing supportive services to those impacted by human trafficking, along with preventative services so others are knowledgeable of the pitfalls associated with human trafficking. The main goal of the charity event is to bridge the gap between community, resources, and self-care. On Saturday, August 28th, we are excited to host our 4th annual charity 5k.
To advance the development and confidence, we edify our young Queens through our A Sista’s Always Prepared programming. The Puberty Queen is a program designed to intersect the perception of preparation and the cultivation of confidence for young girls ages 8-13 on their puberty path. The Financial Literacy is a program designed to begin the process of closing the financial gap and teach fiscal responsibility; a partnership that has been established with Bank of the West.

Dr. Campbell currently works as an Assistant Professor at Samuel Merritt University in the Family Nurse Practitioner Graduate Program and is a provider in Family Practice at Roots Community Health Center in Oakland.

While the roles of clinician and CEO keep her busy, the most humbling and rewarding honor is that of wife and mother. Jaliza Johnson, MBA, MSN, RN, PHN Jaliza has successfully navigated her career from being a Sales and Marketing Executive to now becoming a respected nurse leader.

Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Incorporated® Annual Meeting & Educational Conference Memorial Prayer To Thee, Dear God, we offer our Prayer: You are our refuge and help in time of trouble. In our darkness, thou art light. We come seeking for our Sorors bereaved family and all that mourn their passing. In our weakness, thou art strength in all thy goodness, we bless and praise thy Holy name. Now we have entered sorrow and we again call on thee for comfort and peace. Thy strength is sufficient in all our troubles if we put our whole trust and confidence in thee. Amen.
Thanatopsis (Last Stanza) “So live that when thy summons come to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm. Where each shall take His chamber in the silence of death. Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night Scourged to his dungeon but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him And lies down to pleasant dreams.”
Requiem to A Nurse Lord of our life; we bow in deep submission. To Thy last will for this, our kindred souls. We walk in paths that Thou, Thyself, hath taken In service true, to men Thy love unfold. We walk in paths that Thou, Thy-self hath taken In service true, to men Thy love unfold. Accept Thine own, recalled from earthly labor Eternally, the richer life to share Leave in the breach some token of Thy favor. Leave in the breach some token of Thy favor. Kept by his grace, receive that love sublime. Our comfort be, lighten the cross we bear. Our comfort be lighter than the cross we bear. Then one by one, we join the sweet communion, So, Angel, rest, Await the glad reunion. Rest thy securely in His love divine So, Angel, rest, Await the glad reunion. Rest thy securely in His love divine
Requiem to a Nurse (Explanation) We try to envision a group of nurses at a graveside, recognizing God as giver of life, and bowing to His will to recall His own. “We walk in paths”, etc. refers to duties of nurses ministering to minds and bodies of men. Through this ministry, justice, mercy, and love are given expressions and God is interpreted to men through faithful service. This is the way Jesus walked. Verse two continues to supplications begging that He accept this One whom he has recalled, and in the vacancy leaves some token of favor as comfort to saddened hearts. In the last stanza, we realize that we are but a step from death. One by one we shall join those who have gone before. The last lines are directed to the deceased, who is to wait patiently until He bids us come into eternal communion. ―Lucile L. Scales, R.N.
