Join us for a journey of healing and empowerment with Kecia Larkin. Kecia is the first Aboriginal Woman to publicly disclose her HIV status in July, 1990 and is a leader in the Aboriginal HIV movement. For over 30 years, she has shared stories about her life and inspired people across Canada.
She will be speaking about surviving addictions and life on the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver, reconnecting to Indigenous Identity, how she found the strength to embody joy, and what resilience means to her.
