"Recognizing today is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. In these times, it is crucial that we continue to be vocal and clear in our efforts to reach health equity in HIV outcomes within our diverse Black communities here in the US and globally. What impacts one impacts us all." Dr. Malebranche

Quote to ponder: there is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world, I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call a friend, engage those among you who are visionary, and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair, and disrespect.

I have been thinking about this Baldwin quote often as we transition into 2025. Winning is living, in a way.

James Baldwin quote. I can't be a pessimist because I am alive. To be a pessimist means that you have agreed that human life is an academic matter. So, I am forced to be an optimist. I am forced to believe that we can survive, whatever we must survive.
