Managing HIV as children and into adulthood is an experience and a bond that is difficult to describe.
It is September 25th, 2023. This day marks my 11th year of knowing that I'm living with HIV.
This was my first time attending the USCHA conference in DC. This year's theme was "A Love Letter to Black Women".
MY GIRLS! I can't explain the connection and the happiness I feel when I'm around them. When I share space with them, I feel heard and held and so effortlessly it comes naturally for me to do the same...
If you are new to advocating, have never been to USCHA, or are interested in learning about HIV, I highly suggest considering your attendance for the coming year!
Last year at USCHA I stood in a room and said We are not long-term survivors, but we are LIFETIME SURVIVORS.
Thanks to an invitation from Sensoa Belgium, I was happily part of Antwerp Pride and contribute to their campaign Is PrEP iets voor jou? (is PrEP something for you?).
At one point I really thought I wanted a road map for this life with HIV. Like, really, really wanted a road map. I wanted more than just "you're not going to die."
Get tips on being informed and in control when talking to the media about HIV.
I would like to be a part of A Girl Like Me to show the positive side of living with HIV. I would like to be the face of inspiration to help those who struggle with stigma daily.
