At the end of the day, we're people and we should fight for each other and we should make sure the well-being of each one of us is taken care of.

As long as you're consistently working on your craft, your heart is in the right place, and you pair that with being smart on how you present yourself to people, opportunities will appear.

Knowing your HIV status is such an easy thing to do, but again, we've created this stigma around even going to get tested.

I try to be as realistic as possible.
