A Short Story About Confronting HIV Stigma and Embracing Mental Health

The way we see ourselves influences how the world sees us. It becomes our inner thoughts and can help us navigate difficult paths.

When Titi and Musa struggle to conceive a child, fate leads them to Adanma, a beautiful 5-year-old in need of a loving home. But something about Adanma makes Titi hesitant to adopt her – she is HIV positive. However, Musa's deep connection with the young girl compels him to pursue the adoption process, which Titi eventually gets on board.
