There are rose thorns in my power bag.
I feel that my power has come form embracing my 'thorns', the difficult parts of myself, including HIV. Accepting #HIV has allowed me to grow in directions I had not expected. We grow thorough our difficulties and challenges #RebelByDefault

Charity’s Power Bag: there is an image of Atlas carrying the world; this was a punishment from Zeus for rebelling... So the analogy of showing him as HIV positive relates to us feeling burdened with great weight…we are really strong to be living with #HIVStigma. #RebelByDefault

This bag signifies the power of the group collaboration, linking together the individual Power Bags.
'Listen Louder' is an invitation to the research and medical communities to recognise and learn from the agency and expertise of women living with HIV. #ListenLouder #WomenHIV
