a woman with HIV, passionate about using lived experiences to move from isolation to involvement, for social justice. Views my own CEO @Positively_UK She/They
London
Joined October 2010
26 years with my pet virus HIV. Healthy and vibrant as a 57 years old woman. Grateful for the small things in life, a walk in the park, my cats. Grateful for the huge gifts in life: free healthcare and a fierce community. Still much work to do to end HIV & Stigma. #ADayWithHIV

A true honour to be included in the @ACTUP_LDN Pin Up calendar. I got involved because our job is not done yet. A person dies of #AIDS every 24 seconds in the world. In the UK poverty, stigma & structural inequalities keep thousands out of care. Act Up Fight Back! #HIVactivism

Growing public debt is choking sub-Saharan African countries, leaving them with little fiscal room to finance health & critical HIV services. Every moment we delay in restructuring unsustainable debt carries a heavy price. #SummitOfTheFuture

Today is #WorldPatientSafetyDay which highlights everyone’s role in reaching a right & safe diagnosis. To do this we need to challenge power hierarchies which prevent people from being able to speak up. Through better listening & valuing of unheard voices we can improve diagnosis

Today is #WorldAfroDay. Growing up I was made to feel ashamed of my hair. It was only after I lost it all from chemo I stopped straightening it. Now I love it. Stand together to end discrimination of Afro hair - Fix the Law not our hair! #FixTheHairLaw
