activism, advocacy

To all the amazing young artists of Gihanga: you are an inspiration. Let us continue this great work with positive energy and hope to end HIV.

A careless ally cannot be my ally.

This is for every person who has been told their life depends on a pill — then made to feel guilty for needing it.

Now and always, it is an honor and privilege to serve and be comprised of and lift up voices of women across the gender spectrum. Full stop.

I do not associate with victimhood. Yet, in these moments, the victimization of a careless Congress and presidential administration may leave me vulnerable with an inability to pay for medical care and manage my disease.

Estoy cansada...de la crueldad. Cansada de las mentiras. Cansada de la gente que elige no educarse cuando la verdad está aquí, frente a sus ojos.

I am tired of...the cruelty. Tired of the lies. Tired of people who choose not to educate themselves when the truth is right here.

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.
