This was such an inspiring conversation! I felt Tabita Ntuli's compassion and passion deeply. As a researcher in the HIV space and a member of a community still grappling with the impact of HIV, this discussion has reignited my motivation to keep pushing forward. It also reminded me of the importance of expanding my work to include community engagement. Conversations like these are vital—HIV/AIDS remains a critical topic that demands our collective attention and action today more than ever.
