We all have had experiences in life, also known as curveballs, that caused us to realign our steps. These experiences may differ in their details; however, the one constant is the point of reset.
I decided to lean into my gift of creativity, first by recognizing I had such a gift and then sharing it with the world. This mindset is a new for me. I speak freely from my wheelchair about the challenges I faced while living with HIV and how the stigma surrounding the diagnosis keeps many people living with it from becoming better versions of themselves. This talk will allow you to reflect on your challenges and activate your desire, ambition, and willingness to become your own champion.
