“Taking an hour that I put aside daily to work on my book of short stories. These stories make up moments of my life that bring me joy, caused me pain, left me confused, and of course the ones that I look to for strength. I have been thriving while living with HIV for 16 years, and that is worth celebrating!”

We have been hit by natural disasters over and over, the latest being Hurricane Fiona, which left the whole island without power.
