A Girl Like Me
A Girl Like Me (AGLM), a program of The Well Project, is a blog where women across the gender spectrum can share their experiences and promote understanding of HIV. Millions of women around the globe are living with HIV, yet many feel they are alone in their disease and isolated in their day-to-day experiences. The goals of AGLM are to help normalize HIV; and to create a safe space for women living with HIV from around the world to speak out and share their experiences – with each other, and with those seeking a support community.

This past week, I had the incredible honor of standing on the largest stage I've ever graced with more than 4,000 people in attendance. As I stepped into the spotlight under the bright lights of the L.I.T. (Legends in Training)...
I am in a good condition. I have a full cup to pour some love on others. My space is shared with sisters who want and need to talk; to ask questions.
