The Well Project Leadership Exchange: Ciarra Covin and Celeste Watkins-Hayes, PhD

The first in our series, The Well Project Leadership Exchange, is a discussion between our community advisory board (CAB) member Ciarra Covin and WRI member and sociologist Celeste Watkins-Hayes, PhD. Ciarra is an A Girl Like Me blogger and CAB member, and is the owner of Healing is Voluntary. Celeste is a member of our Women’s Research Initiative on HIV/AIDS (WRI) whose work has focused on Black women and HIV and the HIV safety net and the author of Remaking a Life: How Women Living with HIV/AIDS Confront Inequality. Ciarra became interested in speaking with Celeste after seeing her plenary presentation at AIDS 2020. The Well Project Leadership Exchange is a new series connecting thoughtleaders in the HIV community to explore one another’s work, activism, and personal experiences.
