Exponents

Afternoon All. Due to a scheduling conflict, Kiki house practices for Tuesday, 10/07 have been cancelled. See everyone on the 13th.

I’m deeply grateful for the trust, support, and partnership that have shaped my first four months at Exponents. As we begin a new fiscal year, I’m thankful for the progress we’ve made and energized by the opportunities ahead. 

A special thank you to everyone who celebrated National Recovery Month with us and helped honor the strength, resilience, and possibilities of recovery.

Together, we will continue expanding programs, strengthening services, and creating new pathways to recovery, education, employment, and opportunity for the communities we serve.

Thank you for believing in Exponents and for being part of this journey. I look forward to all that we will accomplish together.

Improving health. Igniting hope.

With sincere appreciation,
Samantha Lopez
Chief Executive Officer

United and Unbreakable! ❤️

Last week, Exponents team members Dana Diamond, Director of Supportive Services, and Donald Powell, Sr. Director of Non-Clinical Programs & External Relations, had the opportunity to attend the 2026 U.S. Conference on HIV/AIDS (USCHA) in Anaheim, California.

This year’s theme, “United and Unbreakable: The HIV Movement at 45,” honored 45 years of courage, advocacy, community, research, prevention, and treatment. We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with leaders, advocates, healthcare professionals, and community members working toward a future where health equity and access to care are within reach for everyone. ❤️‍🩹🌎

Exponents is proud to be in attendance at Odyssey House’s 21st Anniversary Run for Your Life 5K Run and Recovery Walk, taking place this upcoming Saturday, September 26, 2026! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Join us at Randall’s Island Park for a day celebrating recovery, wellness, community, and connection. The family-friendly event will feature a 5K course with beautiful waterfront views and urban gardens, along with children’s games and face painting, Zumba, health and wellness booths, and refreshments. 🌿🌊

Thank you to everyone who joined us this past Tuesday for our Recovery Month celebration event! 🎉

A special thank you to all of our Exponents staff, guest speakers, and peers for helping make this event possible! 🙌🏽 Together, we celebrated hope, resilience, and the many pathways to recovery.

Recovery is about more than treatment. It’s about having the support, stability, and resources needed to build a healthier and more fulfilling life. 💙🌱

Stable housing, access to food, transportation, employment, mental health services, supportive relationships, and a strong community can all make a difference along the journey.

Everyone’s path to recovery looks different. There is no single timeline or one size fits all approach. What matters is having access to the resources, encouragement, and opportunities that help you take the next step.

Recovery is possible. Support matters. You don’t have to do it alone. 🤝

Exponents was proud to be in attendance at NGLCCNY’s 2026 Business Summit at the CUNY Graduate Center!

The Summit brought together organizations, and community leaders for a day of connection, collaboration, and meaningful conversations.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with fellow attendees, build new relationships, and represent Exponents at this year’s Summit.
