Today, March 10th, is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day ❤️

Women and girls—especially women of color—continue to face barriers to HIV prevention, treatment, and care. From stigma and misinformation to medical racism and lack of access, too many are left without the resources they need. Women make up over 20% of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S., yet are often left out of the conversation.

As a 2025 CommuniTEA cohort member with @advocatesforyouth and @viivhealthcare , I’m committed to shifting the narrative and fighting for education, policy change, and action to break these barriers.

HIV is preventable. AIDS is treatable. Stigma is the real epidemic.

on 11.18.23, i become a member of the greatest sorority on earth.

to my ILLUSTRIOUS 22 founders, thank you for starting a legacy of greatness and service that continues to reign supreme 111 years later.

to my pros, thank you for guiding me safely across the sands—you are the best role models a neo could ask for.

to my TANTALIZING, TRAILBLAZING, AND DEVASTATING 64 sisters, you’ve made my life better from day one. i treasure all the memories we’ve made and those yet to come. it’s an honor to have the opportunity to work and serve alongside each of you. i’m with T.I. real bad for a lifetime.

and to my mom, the quad to my 58, thank you for showing me what it truly means to be a woman of crimson and cream. being able to call you my soror is a dream realized.

aoml,
ari ♥️✨ taken in Delta Sigma Theta Land by @ariaofexpertise

none of this would have been possible without my mom, the most incredible travel buddy in the whole wide world. from the days when my little legs couldn’t keep up with hers to now when i slow down just to match her pace, she’s been by my side in every airport line, every cobblestone street, every sunrise.

canada, england, mexico, iceland, egypt, the philippines, turkey, curaçao, norway, the netherlands, panama, croatia, costa rica, colombia, sweden, the bahamas, jamaica, haiti, belize, italy, and finally greece, every single memory holds her handprint. i love you momslie, and i’m endlessly grateful for every adventure, every story, and every dream realized together, and those still yet to come

where does prejudice start? when does it become discrimination? perhaps with a simple “but” followed by a harmful insinuation

an i’m not racist, but i will still quicken my pace or cringe away as i pass you on the street

maybe an i’m not colorist, but can i check behind the baby’s ears, just in case?

an i’m not xenophobic, but here, you should speak english

or perchance an i’m not homomisic, but could you love a little less out loud for my comfort?

an i’m not transmisic, but i will continue to use incorrect pronouns and deadnames

all it takes is one “but” to exist

and all our respect and kindness goes up in flames
