I'd like to believe that I am a strong young woman who's just simply trying to live her life the best way possible....yes, I encounter challenges on a daily basis but that does not keep me down. It's been merely two weeks since I came back to cape...

This project (See my blog about the Red Ribbon Dress) originally began in 2004/05 and was as a sort of ‘Coming Out’ piece about being HIV Positive and was made for my end of year show. The Original was sculptural and included Chicken wire mesh to...

New post from Tiffany on "Voices from our Allies": The World is Watching! The world is watching as news of two more cured come out of IAS. The world is watching as questions about the “End of AIDS” seem more plausible than ever before especially for...

I arrived in Washington, D.C. a few days ago for AIDS 2012. To summarize my experience in one word….Inspiring. The women I have met are some of the strongest, most courageous and inspiring women I have had the pleasure of meeting. To meet women of...
