After my AIDS diagnosis, my focus in life has been redirected to my physical/emotional/intellectual health! I've since become a Pro Natural Physique Bodybuilder. I advocate for the HIV community: increasing awareness and education while decreasing stigma. And I share my journey of just becoming a better human in hope of inspiring and motivating those around me.
Recently I did a podcast with Jennifer Cohen on Habits & Hustle which was feateured by Entreprenuer I've been a part of two separate videos for the socially conscious YouTube channel: Jubilee I won 3rd Place at the first Natural Bodybuilding competition in Muscle Beach held by INBA/PNBA I spoke at and covered the United States Conference on AIDS in D.C. this past August 2019

Selamat siang! I’m back from the most incredible trip to Bali. Thanks for being patient while I took a breather from social; and thanks to those of you who expressed concern about my absence ❤️ I’m MORE than good 😊 Matur suksma! I’ll be sharing a bit from my trip in the coming days.
HIV prevention is widely misunderstood in the Black Community and our healthcare providers are more likely to underestimate transmission risk and therefore less likely to prescribe prevention treatments such as PrEP. PrEP = Pre Exposure Prophylaxis It can be a daily pill or a periodic injection that greatly protects against the risk of acquiring HIV. @prepinblackamerica is working hard to educate and empower.

I finally made it to #Bali Indonesia is part of my heritage but I’ve never had the privilege to visit. I can’t describe the feeling of running into people who distinctly look like you and your family members, for the first time. Feeling so much peace and happiness inside. #indonesian #balinese #hivadvocate #hiv #indonesia
Everyone impacted by #hiv will relate to one or more of the beautiful stories in Mark’s book. They’re vulnerable, tragic & funny all at once. I’m so happy I got to hear some of them read aloud last night. Proud of this guy! Thank you Mark, for welcoming me into our diverse community when I was getting started in my advocacy; your spirit is one I always strive to emulate ❤️ 📖 @mark.s.king #hivadvocate #hivaids #hivbodybuilder #hivactivist

Come thru vascularity. More veins appearing on the arms is a sure sign of lower body fat % can’t stop me now 💪🏽🔥 #hiv #hivbodybuilder #nattybodybuilding #mensphysique #fitnessjourney
Our Black communities are some of the most affected by #HIV PrEP crushes transmission of HIV. But when folks don’t know about it, don’t trust it or don’t have access to it, it means nothing. The Prep In Black America summit is working to change that. Visit the site (link in comments) for more info and to attend. AVAC #PrEP #HIVadvocate #UequalsU

For some, disclosing their #HIV status to themselves is the most powerful thing they can do. It can literally save a life. Denial or avoiding diagnosis often leads to destructive behavior and even foregoing treatment. Even now, people w/ healthcare access still die of AIDS-related complications when they reject themselves 💔 #disclosure #hivadvocate
