I am moving to New Orleans!!! I’ve been preparing to relocate to New Orleans from my current residency in Seattle, WA for a few years now. You may be asking yourself as you read this, why New Orleans and especially why during a pandemic?

In a global pandemic that demands physical distancing, no hugging or touching, how do we stay connected? Spiritually, mentally, physically and sexually.

2020 has certainly been a year that will go down in history. It has brought smiles, sadness, and solitude for many people around the globe. For a person living with HIV, these emotions may be a regular feature of everyday life. For some it may be one more than another, while others paint their smiles on with lipstick and perform for their social circle.

When you kicked in, anxiety became a widespread disease, especially among us young people living with HIV. For some reason, there was no correct information about you, and I was trying to figure out where I stood in terms of vulnerability to contracting coronavirus.

Learning to love yourself after a broken relationship, a rape, a life changing occurrence is often a very difficult thing to do. Getting over the shock, the loss and the changes that happen is probably the hardest step in the healing process.

In this time of isolation, it’s nice to retreat into fun and fantasy…
I would love to hear your responses to this question: If I could have sex one more time, what would it look like? That’s it - one more time - but only one. Just to clarify, I mean the last time ever.

Every morning I had a habit of waking up energized for the day, dressing up, and ensuring that I looked and felt good - not only about myself, but about the day I had to face. But many times I stood in the mirror and took forever to convince myself that I actually looked good...

In today’s world, women are encouraged to be the best version of themselves and quite rightly so. Women are told to speak up and have a voice, equal rights and never settle. The gravity of these points is enormous.

No one ever told you that you had to date someone in order to feel complete at some point. You just feel the need of having someone, especially when you have someone that you’re attracted to.
