I am a Latina, HIV positive, a lesbian and a woman! 4 strikes against me ..but I am not out! Many know the struggles that we go through if we have any of these categories with stigma and discrimination!

No matter what things in life are against us, we must never let anything stop us or bring us down! I must be real…I have been discriminated more for being a lesbian woman that is happily married and very vocal about whom i love,"my best friend and...

Remember that the beautiful butterfly was once a cocoon. There is hope as long as there is life 3. "Being strong is also coming to terms that life is not easy, we may not always be happy and we should let it out for our own well being." Don't hold onto anything because you are scared of the future...if it is not working for you there is a reason for this!

Anything can be snatched from you in a minute. When we feel...
