I’m on PrEP but I also… have always thought of myself as still becoming curious, reflective, and motivated by growth more than perfection. What matters to me is family and building a life that feels honest and aligned, where my time, energy, and relationships truly reflect my values. I care deeply about my spirituality, learning, making meaningful connections, and doing work that has purpose beyond simply checking boxes.
Thoughtfulness and resilience are at the core of my being: I tend to ask questions that matter, adapt when things change, and keep moving even when the path isn’t clear. I believe my journey as a Black queer migrant in this country exemplifies just how resilient I am as a person. My journey hasn’t been linear I have survived marginalisation and hate crimes in a country I once called home, as well as racism and many other hurdles here in the UK, where I sought sanctuary.
Despite the chaos I have endured, I remain teachable, learning every day to value kindness, integrity, empathy, and progress over appearances, to acknowledge my victories, and to practice gratitude more.
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a highly effective medication that can prevent HIV when taken as prescribed. If you think PrEP could be right for you, speak to your GP or contact your local sexual health service to find out more.
