My girl, greatest ally, ⁦ @indianaseresin ⁩ withdrew from her PhD program at Cambridge because of endemic and systematic racism. I wish she’d been there to walk by me when I arrived a fresh faced undergrad. May she give us courage to set the bar higher

I’ve always thought of #Khuluma as a kind of alternative subjectivity for adolescents living with the stigma of HIV. @mikaelapatrick puts it beautifully through her spatial analysis of text message days in this blog @SHMFoundation @UCL_GC @UCLGlobalHealth
