Yesterday I turned 40.
I’m so ready for this next decade / chapter.
On my 27th birthday I was diagnosed with AIDS; it’s a continuing reminder to not take life for granted. I’m still here and still kicking and I’ve got so much love left to share.

❤️ to the flight attendants on my way to #AIDSwatch in DC. Luis thanked me for my content; he shared it w/ a friend in need. Alicia told me about her time in healthcare advocacy recounting the AIDS epidemic. We connected on the devastating changes happening related to HIV funding, policy & services.

The @glaad.bsky.social Awards felt like one big hug. We knew in these walls we’re safe and loved. And we know that outside these walls, we have major work to do. We will do that work together, as a community, with a unified voice and most importantly with love in our hearts 💞

March 1st, is Zero Discrimination Day. When people, orgs and govt’s are informed of the science and understanding of HIV, they are responsible for ensuring their policies & laws reflect today’s reality. Let’s honor the incredible progress we’ve made in slowing HIV by treating each other w/ humanity.
