Presenting with Dr. Bob Fullilove and Dr. Rodrick Wallace on HIV prevention was the highlight of the month. Dr. Wallace broke down the history of the epidemic as told through the lense of marginalized communities world wide and Dr. Fullilove made a call for community action. I presented the TruthAIDS work from Philadelphia and Los Angeles collaborators using video. The multimedia format was tricky as I have never be technologically literate but I think the visual medium continues to be a powerful way to teach about HIV. The panel attendees got a chance to meet the wonderful young men I am working with in Philadelphia as well as the talents of Shea Scott in L.A. It's wondrous when life allows you to bring all your circles together as one.
