We’ve said it before and we will say it again - talking about your feelings helps! Reach out to a parent, family member, friend, teacher, guidance counselor, or anyone you trust. Talking your feelings through is cathartic and will reassure you that you are not alone.

Today & everyday, we defy a world that limits us because of our HIV status. We defy a a world that prioritizes the health & education of children in one part of the world, children of one race, children of one poverty level, over another.

A #TogetherForHer Impact Thread! When our founder @CharlizeAfrica had the spark of the idea early on in COVID lockdown that eventually became #TogetherForHer, we never could've imagined the vast outpouring of support we & our partners @CARE & @EIFoundation would congregate.

When COVID-19 hit Navajo Nation, sisters Nancy & Celia were inspired to make their family masks to keep them safe. They have since made hundreds of masks out of their mother's home for their community, bringing them closer together & allowing them to support their elders.

Every 3 hrs, a South African woman is killed. SA has one of the highest femicide rates in the world. Every day, women have the right to live w/o fear of violence. Powerful @theglobalgoals film feat. @KPutuma on the violence women face, & the need for change. #TogetherForHer
CW: contains themes of sexual violence that some may find triggering @KPutuma’s moving words serve as a reminder women have the right to live without fear of violence. We must stand up for women's rights and keep fighting to end gender-based violence. #GlobalGoals #16Days

"No country can defeat the colliding pandemics of HIV & COVID alone. Global challenges can only be defeated thru solidarity & shared responsibility...It's our opportunity to re-imagine & build a better future, where health is no longer a privilege, but a human right, for [all]."
Today is #WorldAIDSDay. We stand in solidarity with all people living with or affected by HIV, and we remember our friends and family who have died from AIDS-related illnesses. Read the full statement from our Executive Director @Winnie_Byanyima 👉🏾 bit.ly/3mg0L6T

"Young people who have known a daily barrage of heartbreak, trauma, violence, adversity & tragedy are beginning to believe in themselves. Music allows them to become engaged, & to speak in a way that they've never been able to. That's the healing power of music.” – @mbsings
