HIV Beautiful : Art for social change
As a growing art-activist, I believe art can be used as a tool for social change.
Below are various illustrations dedicated to informing people about HIV facts, myths, social struggles and a homage to those involved in the movement. All of these illustrations are inspired by the people, in different communities around the world, who advocate, march, educate and uplift their peers.
With the mass amount of stigma behind HIV in our communities and the health disparities throughout the nation, it is important to me to be one of the many voices that help de-stigmatize these issues and connect people to the resources they need. HIV/AIDS is a human rights issue and it's our duty to support those
who are impacted by HIV.
​
I hope that I can continue to evolve and develop my creative skills to become a stronger champion for marginalized communities.

A lot more illustrations to come!
