I have been in and out of two mental institutions, twelve-step programs, and treatment programs/centers; all of which have taught me a lot about life and myself. I feel that I am qualified to share my experiences, strengths, and hopes so that others might live.
I am a sixty-six-year-old great-grandmother that has been living with HIV since October 1989 (twenty-six years).
I am currently living in the Southern part of my country. I had three sons, of which two are still living, six siblings of which I only have two still alive. I was born on the west coast of my country while my dad was stationed in the military. I was six months old when I was taken by my grandmother to my home state until dad was discharged a few weeks later. I have four grandchildren, one great-grandson and two godsons. I love them all with all of my heart.
I live life with a passion and do my best to keep a positive attitude. Life is worth living. I am not ashamed about living with HIV. I consider myself an HIV/AIDS activist and advocate. I hold my head up high and walk tall because God has helped me to know that I am okay because He does not make junk.view less
