More quotes by Bisi Alimi

I’m alive today because I got treatment, because I refused to hide, and because I chose hope. Anyone living with HIV can live fully. That’s the truth.

HIV is not a death sentence. Stigma is. The moment we treat people with compassion, everything changes.

I see the law as a catalyst for change for good in Nigeria. You don’t understand what it is like to fight a beast that you cannot see.

At first it felt like the world had collapsed. But slowly I realised I could either hide or fight. And fighting meant telling my story.

I think that was one of the most difficult times in my life. You know the feeling when the world is crumbling around you and you just wanted someone to lift you up and everyone is turning their backs on you.
