My Community

On Thursday, October 29, 2026, join cohosts Ciarra "Ci Ci" Brown, MS, HS-BCP, and Bridgette Picou, LVN, ACLPN, for episode 48 of A Girl Like Me LIVE as we recap our favorite moments and takeaways from USCHA 2026.

I'm grateful to be alive, grateful for opportunities to share my story... it's comforting to know there are so many more unknown moments waiting with potentially beautiful journeys.

Whether you have been living with HIV for one month, one year, or 30 years, we got this. We will continue fighting and continue strengthening what we have built together.

Whether you're an older person living with HIV, or younger lifetime survivor, your voice matters!

In a world where political attacks and rolling back rights are rising ... this gathering reminded us that communities must create spaces of joy, care, and resistance.

I need us to remember social media captures a moment in time. We control what we share and there aren't too many people sharing the real, raw and ugly side of life... sooo many are struggling...

It's interesting how time really passes; this is a piece that I wrote 14 years ago. I was so young and, of course, hopeful, as a young woman living with HIV by then.

I want my thoughts as a woman living with HIV for 30 years ... to encourage and bring hope to other women leaders living with HIV. I have been on this page and a member for a long time.

The Well Project is a sisterhood and advocacy organization/ Dedicated to women with HIV and educating civilization...

I know by being honest this may upset some people but I have to be real.
