HIV/AIDS had a huge stigma and discrimination affixed. The Jamaica Red Cross wanted to create a new generation of advocates that would be knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS to help eradicate that stigma and discrimination. I was 10 years old when I started learning about HIV/AIDS. The more I learned my passion was fuelled especially as I learned first hand from persons living with HIV/AIDS and the struggles they had to overcome.
I have lobbied media and appeared on national television, speaking about family planning and the importance of birth spacing.
I co organized the first National Women Empowerment Conference partnering with groups that focus on providing information on family planning through resources, story telling and role play
I will use the platform to network and learn more; amplifying my voice as an advocate for sexual and reproductive health through best practices and research
I will collaborate with the Women Centre of Jamaica to support the reintegration of girls in school program. This allows for teenage mothers to complete their secondary education. Studies show that women with secondary education can earn two times more than women without education reducing poverty
