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.

Growing up in Mushin shaped me. Over there, survival is a language. We don’t give up.

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.
