This is my first year on the Board with the National AIDS Memorial, and I am learning so much about how this organization continues to progress its legacy through advocacy, education, leadership, and scholarship. I have been fortunate to gather with some of the pioneers in the work, who also see the importance of expanding their mission to ensure that communities we usually forget are continually placed at the forefront.

Whether the Mary Bowman Art in Activism Award, Pedro Zamora Young Leaders Scholarship, the National AIDS Memorial Grove, the historic National AIDS Memorial Quilt, or other community-supporting projects, they all deserve to continue to be a testament to the legacy of those HIV and AIDS activists, family, friends, and loved ones who have created and continue to create a path of liberation, equitable healthcare, and representation for all.

Please support me by making a donation to AIDS Walk San Francisco, which will help continue these projects for generations to come.
