More quotes by Oum

As an artist, I have a platform to reach many people. It is my duty to use my voice to advocate for people living with and affected by HIV who are often unheard.

I write and compose my songs, and then I arrange them in consultation with the musicians I work with.

I am honored to take on this role with UNAIDS and am committed to supporting the fight against HIV in Morocco.
