How We Can Educate and Empower Youth with HIV/AIDS

Real Talk with NMAC

Among the people who are diagnosed with HIV, many are young people. In this episode, host Gabriella Spencer talks with Marshun Redmond of NMAC to discuss how we can take steps towards understanding the problems with HIV/AIDS among youth, and celebrate the effort young people are making to fight the battle against HIV/AIDS.

Marshun Redmond went through the Youth Initiative Scholar program with NMAC. Marshun had his own story and wanted to use that story to help others. Marshun tells us why he got involved with the Youth Initiative, why it was a safe space, the importance of peer-to-peer education, and how it led him to bring the leadership skills and tools he gained into the community. Lastly, Marshun leaves three important pieces of advice for the youth.
