Thrilled to be nominated for a National Magazine Award for my piece on the decriminalization of HIV in Canada. Thanks to @xtramagazine.com for giving this story a home, @ziyajones.bsky.social for the thoughtful edits, and, most importantly, to everyone I spoke with who trusted me and my reportage.🌈
