Look at me by Linda R. Herman
Look at me, take a long, hard stare.
I'm the face of HIV. I represent every woman 25-34 who has died or is dying from AIDS.
AIDS is the leading cause of death in African American women in this age group.
So, LOOK at me!
Do you think I'm ready to die? I'm not ready. I don't want to leave my children, family, and friends. LOOK at me!
Can you honestly tell me we can't change the statistics by raising awareness? Can we not see the Consequences of our actions? Oh God, is anybody even listening to me? LOOK at me!
Now, take a long hard look at yourself and answer this question:
What am I going to do today to raise awareness of HIV & AIDS?
