I am sure many of us were unaware of the event. As HIV positive women and especially as women of color, we should strive to become more aware of these types of events which are intended to help us.
Regional events are good and very important.
However, the lack of publicity surrounding this event underscores the need for women to mobilize on a National level. There were three thousand or more participants at the walk. I was among them. The lack of participation from the AIDS Community and all of it's organizations was extremely noticeable. I spoke and I walked.
