“I wanted my portrait to capture not only who I am, but that it pays homage to the bodhisattvas of the HIV/AIDS response”

“People living with HIV are here to stay and we are resilient and brave”

“I am exactly who I was meant to be: a queer, HIV+, Bi-racial human being”

“Being gay with HIV does not really put me to death, but the labels, discrimination, and stigma do!”

“My experience has been lonely and fearful because of hiding my HIV status from other people.”
