LA Corp Engages Community
The Living Affected Corporation's Chief Operating Officer, C. Mabin collaborated with a host of entities and activities ranging from a March 26 Legislative Breakfast coordinated by the Arkansas
Minority Health Commission in conjunction with a supportive medicaid expansion initiative of the Arkansas HIV Planning Group to sharing insights during the April 3rd National Association of Social Workers Conference as a featured presenter with Northeast Arkansas AIDS Network. Mabin cited, "its been a whirlwind of meetings, appearances, collaborations and outreach that is necessary as we continue to scale up our reach into the area of health disparities." He continued, " As a entity we've become well aware of the trends and direction of how we as a community based organization should position our selves in this changing tines." Mabin also appeared on the Internet based radio show, Straight Talk America hosted by Dr. Charles Williams. The appearance was scheduled as a means of outreach to the faith based community to engage their congregants and leadership in addressing HIV and AIDS in Arkansas. Mabin also attended a briefing by New York's The Latino Commission as it shared it report on building a web based platform to assist with further outreach into rural Arkansas' LGBTQ communities and beyond.

Our Lives, Our Stories Concludes Sales
The ground breaking book produced by The Living Affected Corporation, "Our Lives, Our Stories," will be concluding its final sales by mid-June. To purchase copies go to the groups web site, www.livingaffected.org or by calling 501.379.8203. "I've had a great time with both promoting and supporting book sales," said Connie Roebuck. She continued, "the experience of meeting many people, sharing my story that's in the book and offering additional information around HIV and AIDS has made become more well known in my community." Underwritten by a grant by Tibotech Pharmaceuticals the book was designed to explore the issues of stigma, isolation and lack of socialization of women dealing with HIV. Within the book, each participant was encouraged to give a first person account of their lives while re- accounting dealing with the after effects of their diagnosis. Published in early 2011, the book was used as an outreach tool by the then Arkansas Community Planning Group in their efforts to share more direct information to providers and consumers. A subsequent book tour was launched from Hearne Fine Art Studios, a multi city book tour and culminated in Ms. Roebuck being cited for achieving highest sales status.
