[Viva] UnConference

[Peggy Frank]

I went to part of it and found the subject matter interesting but the ability to really connect on zoom not great. Florence Anam from Kenya did a really great job on a session around sexuality and aging. And she is part of the Life Love and HIV work too.  She was very open and easy for people to talk about anything but the format was not conducive as there was such a mixture of people in the room. 

I heard a bit of information about Let’s Kick Ass - an organization founded by a peer dealing with AIDS Survivor Syndrome (ASS). It seems a deeply depressive condition that is familiar to many long-term HIV carriers. But then I had another appointment too. Very much a contrast to Florence’s perspective that aging is a privilege.

Hopefully others will post what they learned. Love-peg
