Shine Out Loud

Welcome to North Dakota's HIV Speakers Bureau!

Are you living with HIV? Your voice matters! Shine Out Loud is seeking speakers to share their stories and change how North Dakota sees HIV.

​

Why share your story? Stigma around HIV still shows up everywhere – from clinics to classrooms. By sharing your story, you can:

  • Help healthcare professionals understand the real impact of HIV stigma

  • Break down myths and help change minds about HIV

  • Foster empathy in both rural and urban communities

  • Inspire hope and resilience for others living with HIV

​

When you tell your story, you spark change. When we speak together, we create a North Dakota where every person living with HIV is seen, respected, and supported.
