✨ A milestone I never imagined I'd reach... I just submitted my first ever conference abstract! 🌍💫
This is proof that lived experience, passion, and the voice of community advocates - not just those with diplomas - belong in every space. Our voices matter. Our stories matter. Our wisdom matters.
To anyone who ever doubted themselves: trust me, you are more than enough. Keep showing up, keep speaking up, and watch doors open. 🚪✨
This moment also reflects the future: exploring the intersection of AI, advocacy, and health equity with communities leading the way.
This is the true meaning of MIPHA (Meaningful Involvement of People Living with HIV and AIDS) and GIPHA (Global Involvement of People Living with HIV and AIDS).
Love and light, always 👽🦋🙏❤️

Congrats
Proud of you Maria. You're such a badass!!! I'd love to read your abstract sometime. Email to me!

That is amazing. I always admire those who are able to put abstracts together. I know you have put together a powerful peace.
