Join us Thursday, October 23 at 12:00 pm ET, as we explore the profound impact language has on the wellness and overall health of women living with HIV.

The virus is not the problem anymore. What keeps killing is ignorance, stigma, and stupidity.

El virus ya no es el problema. Lo que sigue matando es la ignorancia, el estigma y la estupidez.

Taking care of your health means more than just taking your meds — it means being heard, respected, and involved in your care.

I wrote a poem for my mother's service, which I called "A Mother's Love." On the tenth anniversary of her death, I wrote a Eulogy for a class project, and I have included both pieces as a tribute to my mother's life.

I'm coming up on my fourth year of being diagnosed with HIV. Although I have been undetectable since 2021, I am still learning to navigate through so much with this diagnosis.

To anyone who ever doubted themselves: trust me, you are more than enough. Keep showing up, keep speaking up, and watch doors open.

Cada vez que comparto mi verdad, invito a las personas a profundizar su comprensión de mí—no simplemente sobre mi diagnóstico, sino también sobre mi resiliencia, mi risa, mi sabiduría y mi salud.

Every time I speak my truth, I invite people into a deeper understanding of me—not just my diagnosis, but my resilience, my laughter, my wisdom, and my health.

Today, I am only a shadow of myself. I can no longer escape from this prison that I have created for myself.
