I’ve completed a program with UNITY Journalists of Color, Inc. and its Global Reporting Fellowship. The assignment was to cover the United Nation’s High Level Meeting on AIDS from June 7 through June 10. The meeting was considered to be the most important to take place in recent years around AIDS issues, where world leaders took stock of global response, 30 years since the first recorded case.
