Ubunye at IAS 2025: Lukhanyo’s blog 5

14 July 2025

Today at the IAS conference was truly unforgettable The opening ceremony was electric, and I felt so energized being surrounded by so many passionate individuals. What really stood out was when some people took the stage and boldly declared, 'We will not be erased!' it was incredibly empowering. I also had the chance to meet and talk to many amazing people, sharing stories and experiences that I won't soon forget. A highlight was a powerful film that showcased the history and impact of HIV in different countries, accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful song that really resonated with me. The whole atmosphere was filled with a sense of community and determination, and I felt honored to be a part of it.
