Thank you SisterLove Inc.

Chevelle and I spent World AIDS Day with SisterLove Inc. in Atlanta and were received with open arms. Our visit started out with a live radio interview with Dazon Dixon-Diallo on WRFG for their World AIDS Day programming and ended in an awards ceremony at the Shrine of the Black Madonna. We would especially like to thank the "hostess with the mostest" Debra Mlambo for housing us, feeding us, and catering to our every need. The night was beautiful. Thank you for creating such a tender and safe space for us to honestly share our thoughts and experiences on filming All of Us. It was also an honor to meet Dr. Biggers, an Atlanta-based physician/advocate who has devoted her career to HIV/AIDS. I have no doubt that women supporting women can change the world.

Thank you BACK, TruthAIDS Family! It was an absolute honor and privilege to have Dr. Mehret and Chevelle choose to spend their World AIDS Day energy in Atlanta with SisterLove. We have received nothing but loving and positive feedback on your visit. From the radio conversation to the direct message from the film to the late night conversation on working with "allies" in the struggle, it was all an amazing time, and we apprecialove you all SO MUCH! We look forward to the next adventure with TruthAIDS. The work you do is vital to winning the fight against HIV/AIDS and the injustices that accompany the pandemic. One Love!
