VIDEO: The Face of AIDS (Rae Lewis-Thornton)

Monday, August 17, 2009 ·

At the Red Pump Meetup, amazing AIDS activist, Rae Lewis-Thornton, attended our event and we had a chance to talk to her. She is truly inspiring and a true fighter, not to mention an all out fabulous lady!

Here is a video interview that she did with Black AIDS Media, in conjunction with a story for Black Press USA. In these videos, she talks about coming to terms with her diagnosis, telling those around her, and dealing with the physical and personal changes that come along with HIV.

Very personal and powerful, I hope you learn from these videos and share with others.



Excuse the dust. We will be relaunching a brand new website very soon. Stay tuned...

Rock the Red Pump on your page!
