activism, advocacy

This year, I had the privilege of attending my first conference of the year—and let me tell you, I needed it. I needed the reminder of why I do this work.

We all know that PrEP is an important way to prevent HIV, but did you know that ... PrEP is for people of all ages and in all phases of life experiences.

Just as one moment changed the direction of my life, I believe that sharing our stories can create the first link in a chain of understanding, compassion, and acceptance.

Now don't ask me how Lagos happened – it just happened... I had the most positive response from the biking community and that's where I struck gold.

The harsh reality is that there are way too few organisations in our HIV community that are actively promoting PrEP access.

What's the balance in life as a regular human being with needs, wants and desires that just so happens to also be a person living with HIV who simply desires to live a normal non-stigmatized life?

Mi querida gente, prometí compartir con ustedes mi aprendizaje de SIDA 2024 en Múnich.

Not only do I want these things, I deserve them. So does everyone else living with HIV. Shift the paradigm. Let's talk about pleasure.

No solo quiero estas cosas, las merezco. Igual que todos los demás viviendo con VIH. Cambia el paradigma. Habla sobre el placer.

I am thrilled to share that I've been awarded a scholarship from Positive Women's Network as State Lead for West Virginia to attend the upcoming Positive Living Conference at The Island Resort in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, happening September 20 - 22.
