This week, I sit down with an inspiring guest who transformed her HIV diagnosis into a driving force for advocacy, policy work, and community building within the HIV-positive community. Together, we unpack the misconceptions she held before her diagnosis, the realities of living with HIV, and the stigma that continues to shape public perception and personal experiences. We also discuss how storytelling, visibility, and community can create real change, not only for people living with HIV, but for the broader conversation around health, identity, and compassion.
