This book contains questions I have been fortunate enough to receive over the last 2 years through texts, emails and the rare letter. A majority of the texts messages came from audience members who attended my show SEXED, an interactive performance on sex, love and relationships. Many people asked the same question in different variations so I condensed some of the questions into one question. The three most popular topics of discussion are: 1. Penis size. This topic was most popular among men who confessed they are plagued with insecurity about their own endowment. 2. Female orgasm. This question came from women who were struggling with this issue and from men wanting to give women orgasms. 3. Anal sex. Inquiring minds just want to know.

The last chapter in this book is autobiographical. I have always used my life experiences as a way to educate, entertain and inspire people to live the best life they can regardless of challenges.

In many cultures, including our own, the prevailing attitude is that sex is sinful, dirty, bad, and scary. It has become taboo, something we should not discuss. The topic is then only ventured in effort to tell people not to do it because they will die or get some horrible disease. The issue of sex is also a psychological trigger used as a tool by ad companies to sell everything from automobiles to self-esteem. The purpose of my work in this field and this book is to answer questions about sex, love, relationships and life in general in the best way that I can. My intention is not to moralize or demoralize sex neither is it to advocate one to have or not to have sex. My goal is to give the reader the answers to the questions they asked.

People often do not ask their family, church or even doctors these questions because they do not want to be judged. There is so much shame, guilt and fear surrounding the topic of sex. I wanted to create a safe space in my performances and in this book where you can find simply the facts as best I know them and researched them

I finally finished the DVD, A Positive Life: Portraits of Women Living With HIV. It premiered at The XVIII International Conference on AIDS this past July to rave reviews.

"I was so moved by this DVD. Besides being beautiful to look at, I was moved by the brave and courageous women who were willing to come out and tell their stories. They are inspiration to all of us both infected and affected" Ayere Kumar, Nepal, conference delegate

It is 20 minutes long. All the women from the book are represented and it gives updates on some of the women who survived including recent photos and interviews.

A Positive Life: Portraits of Women Living With HIV

I wrote this book to give women with HIV a place to tell their stories. It does that and it also transcends HIV and tells stories of courage, grace and dignity. Since so many of the women have passed it is now a memorial to the lives they lived. Their stories gives us insight into how far we have come with treatment when it comes to HIV/AIDS and how far we still need to go when it comes to stigma and education about HIV/AIDS.
