Nothing like CANFAR Legacy & Invest Ottawa’s Après Werk Pride event for a laugh:
Andre: So what brings you both out this evening?
Adrianna: Just looking for that one special person to turn my Pride around.
Me: That’s why we are standing by the washrooms! 🌈

Grateful for joy & community.🏳️‍🌈

Grateful to be back in Ottawa with CANFAR, where my HIV story began. Sharing my journey and the power of U=U at Invest Ottawa and the Legacy event was a reminder of how community drives change.

The CANFAR Legacy Project promotes awareness and education about HIV/AIDS. Glad to join friends at CANFAR’s Pride Legacy Brunch today — including Co-Executive Director Kevin Noguera and Mayor Olivia Chow — to celebrate Pride and support the future of HIV research in Canada.

Tomorrow, I join a panel at Can You Do Lunch? to talk about aging well with HIV. As a CANFAR National Ambassador, I believe it means transforming stigma into strength and gratitude into legacy.

CANFAR did a nice little write up of the project that they funded me to run, in collaboration with a long-time community partner and the Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention.

(But they aren't on BlueSky so here's an Instagram link)

Bien que mobilisé sur le front économique, je ne peux pas rester silencieux face à ce même climat sociopolitique polarisant 💔💥 qui fait reculer la science et les droits #LGBTQ2SIA+ 🌈

Dans ce contexte préoccupant, je suis fier d’avoir récemment soutenu CANFAR tout récemment à Montréal et Ottawa. ✊💜

Last night at CANFAR Legacy’s Love In, Stigma Out, I spoke about true allyship—listening, learning, and putting community first. When we lead with love, we push stigma out. Grateful to CANFAR and everyone showing up in this fight. #LoveInStigmaOut #UequalsU

So for this year's Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) LOVE-IN campaign, the ambassadors were asked to write a love letter to someone that is part of your support system. I chose my friend and "One Black Mama" Sistah Lois. Thank you for always being there...even if it's just to listen.

2. Starting a pilot study to look at how aging as a women living with HIV affects our immune response and capacity to respond to viral infections. @CANFAR

Two important studies with the idea to improve women’s health

🦋 On part ça avec un retour sur jeudi dernier à Toronto...
For my #BSE debut!

Hier était la Journée mondiale 🌎 de lutte contre le sida, combat que j’ai soutenu lors de Bloor Street Entertains par #CANFAR.

Inspirant de voir la sphère socioéconomique et la classe politique, unies pour la cause! ❤️👏

Lovely dinner last night at Brunello Cucinelli for CANFAR — the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research.

62,790 people in Canada are living with HIV

4 Canadians newly acquire HIV each day

10% of Canadians living w/ HIV are unaware of their status

We have *all* the tools to end this — and we must.

What an Incredible Night at Bloor Street Entertains!

Last night’s 28th Bloor Street Entertains was a powerful reminder of the impact we can make together. From dinner at Sotto Sotto to the after-party at the Four Seasons, it was a night of hope and action.
