Inspired by ViiV Healthcare’s powerful “Mother to Son” campaign, this panel brings together Black mothers and their LGBTQ+ sons for an honest and emotional dialogue about love, acceptance, HIV awareness, and generational healing. In a world where stigma and silence often divide families, this conversation is a celebration of those who choose love—and a call to those still learning how. Panelists will share personal stories about coming out, supporting loved ones through HIV-related journeys, navigating faith and culture, and breaking cycles of shame. This intergenerational exchange is not just a moment—it’s a movement toward healing, understanding, and unconditional care. Whether you're a parent, a child, or somewhere in between, you’ll leave this session reminded that healing begins at home, and love is the loudest legacy we can pass on.
