Day 2 | It's 3:38am Thursday morning and day 2 of the #2017usca is now complete. It was a very long day today but I've met some people and had the opportunity to listen to some amazing stories of folks from all over. I'm exhausted, but really excited tomorrow. #2017usca #2017uscasmf #MyLifeThroughMyLens #photographer

Breakfast | Each and every day between 6am and 9am I begin my day with #breakfast and it isn't so much about the #food but my #HIV medication #genvoya and #vitaminD. It #slays #HIV so I can #slay with my #photography from #redcarpets to #socialprotest. #gettested #MyLifeThroughMyLens #photojournalism #photojournalist #WhileImWandering @blackaids #2017usca #2017uscasmf @sarahgribble
