A symposium on living and thriving with HIV, featuring high-profile speakers & other prominent figures from the HIV/AIDS community.
These year's theme Legacy is a celebration on inspiring stories of living with HIV over the past four decades. Meet our Keynote Speaker Waheedah Shabazz-El who describes herself as a 50-Plus African American, Muslim woman and retired U.S. Postal worker diagnosed with AIDS in 2003.
By day, she is advancing a national alliance of HIV long-term survival with The Reunion Project—where she serves as Director of Community Engagement. Her résumé of extracurriculars is packed: She is a steering committee member for the HIV Prevention Justice Alliance, chairperson Emeritus for the Delaney Collaboratory BEAT HIV Cure CAB at the Wistar Institute, and chair of the community advisory board at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for AIDS Research. As a member of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy Working Group, Shabazz-El visited the White House, and on behalf of PWN she delivered the closing address at the XVIII International AIDS Conference in Vienna.
Mark your calendars and get ready for a day of inspiration and empowerment. We can't wait to see you there!
