activism, advocacy

Living with HIV for over 20 years, Chanica has transformed her personal journey into a powerful platform rooted in service, storytelling, and systemic change.

I'm choosing to live out loud—for the girl I used to be and for the ones who still think they have to shrink to survive. You don't. You can bloom right where you are.

Este país se atreve a hablar de "libertad" mientras millones están secuestradxs por la pobreza, el racismo, el capacitismo y la avaricia. ¿Qué tipo de libertad es esa?

This framework is my way of calling out the systems of tokenization, manipulation, and performative inclusion—especially in spaces that claim to advocate for us.

I am convinced that conferences such as these contribute by creating the much-needed space for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and empowerment.
