I felt that at one point in my life, there were so many things that were getting tossed at me that were built to just destroy a person. But I got through it.
What was the most impactful were the stories told by each of us living with HIV. It would not have been nearly as successful without our voices.
So, if you remember my last blog, I shared my pregnancy news and my plans to breastfeed my baby. Well, I breastfeed, it didn't last long though, but let's get into this short story.
I started to realize that I wasn't the only person in this situation and that maybe we all lived under very different circumstances, but we all lived in the same situation.
My name is Nitanita. I’m California-born and raised, 55 years old, Black, single, and have two adult kids and two grandkids. I'm a professional currently working in field of behavioral/mental health...
Did you know getting dressed up is a form of self-care? I literally did not think of it as self-care until now.
Life gives you chances, and you have to take advantage of them... HIV made me stronger. It empowered me even more.
I am here to share the great news that I'M EXPECTING!!! Of course, some of you reading this may have known that already, LOL!
In this profound journey through the shadows, I've witnessed the evolution of our complex relationship with HIV and our quest for healing – my mother's and mine.
