April 10 is National Youth HIV & AIDS Awareness Day. This is a day to call attention to how young people are impacted by HIV. The day also serves to rally youth, parents, educators and elected officials to discuss and begin making changes in how young people are educated about sexual health.

He continues to speak publicly to empower young people to find their own voice in demanding better educational resources from the schools and government.
