Why do I want to submit blogs to The Well Project’s “A Girl Like Me” Blog?
Mainly because I know how alone I felt when I was first diagnosed. Not only did I feel alone but I felt violated, vulnerable and powerless. Today I have taken control of my HIV and my destiny through the power I gained from other survivors. Now I live the life and carry the message that you need not surrender your lives to HIV. Now my life is full because I have learned the power of being a part of the solution and I learned that from a girl like me.
