Dance for me because it would be really nice and a really generous thing to do.

Karmen’s heart art

I like loving people and I love being myself. I have been to Camp Kindle 6 times. HIV/AIDS first came into my life when I was born. My mom told me when I was 2 or 3. I first understood what HIV was when I was nine. I got curious about HIV when I was in the hospital a lot. Then one day, I screamed to my mom to tell me and she broke down crying and told me. I love Camp Kindle. Without Eva, there would be no Camp Kindle and I love her and her name.

“BAD”

Being challenged all the time
Always feeling intimidated
Different from others and not always accepted

— Karmen

“SAD”

Sick of HIV
Agitated about HIV
Different in other people eyes

— Karmen

I want to be a nurse because it seems cool and my mom is a nurse.
