Kicking it in the Living and Affected

LA Corp Collaborating to Transform Communities

Since its inception, The Living Affected Corporation has participated in a range of activities in its
pursuit to engage Black MSM's on the challenges and barriers dealing with the HIV/AIDS dilemma. Throughout 2012 and into 2013 the organization has partnered with entities ranging from historically black colleges Arkansas Baptist and Philander Smith to presenting during the Eighth Annual Arkansas HIV/Tobacco Prevention and Awareness Symposium, November 27, 2012, on the Main Campus of Pulaski Technical College in North Little Rock. The goal of the symposium is to provide an opportunity for health professionals, tobacco prevention professionals and community members (both youth and adults) to confront the challenges of HIV prevention/intervention and tobacco prevention in the state of Arkansas. LA Corp offered members Kevin Holmes, Diedra Levi and Cornelius Mabin from its speakers bureau as facilitators whom are featured in the embedded video below.

The symposium theme was I Am My Brother's Keeper: One Voice Leading the Way to Prevent HIV/AIDS and Tobacco Use, which offered three tracks featuring individuals involved in community clinics, universities, HIV/AIDS Service Organizations, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations and social agencies. As 2013 unfolds The Living Affected Corporation will continue to leverage its programming schedule and outreach across the state. We encourage our allies, supporters and contributors to share their gifts through our secured online PayPal system or send your donations to us via our mailing address at: The Living Affected Corporation, P.O. box 46558, Little Rock, Arkansas 72214. Its all about "Reason's to Live!"
