“My activism is informed by my desire to share my story with other young people living with HIV. And I am someone who wishes to learn from others concerning living a positive and healthy life as a young person who is openly living with HIV. Ultimately, my advocacy endeavours aim to send a powerful message to decision makers about the struggles I face has a young person who is openly living with HIV in Africa.”
