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.

I've been sitting with something heavy today — not for the first time, and probably not the last. It's the weight of classism, and how it quietly shapes our relationships, our workplaces, and our worth in the eyes of others.
This is a long and overdue blog, dedicated to an amazing woman and human being that I consider a sister and beloved friend. ❤️ For a long time I have been meaning to write this blog for you, Krista Martel...
Join us on June 26 for an empowering discussion exploring the essential themes of self-love and self-care and offering practical techniques for prioritizing your mental and emotional health amidst the challenges life brings.
