New Beginnings
Emma was able to get a job as a research assistant so I would like to give her a very Large Congratulations! But due to her work schedule it’s going to be hard for her to help us out with the organization.
On February 13, 2012 I will be speaking at Barry University Davie campus and would like to thank all those who have been helping me out in spreading the word about HPV. Another Special thanks to Marilyn Volker and Dr. Heather Green for putting me in contact with such great people including Chuck and Rosa from the Dade County Public Schools AIDS/HIV program.
I know that I have been bad at keeping up with the blogging, for that I apologize. It is hard to get into the habit of being online every day for any reason let alone to write about on goings when I am use to doing that with pen and paper (Ah the good old days…). Kori Lopez and Virginia Pena have joined the HPV Awakening Inc. family to them I say both Thank you and Welcome aboard!
On February 7th, 2012 we went to Dade county Public Schools National Black HIV/AIDS awareness day and were introduced to several amazing groups that work in Miami.
- Hispanic AIDS
- The Lodge
- Jessie Trice Community Health Center
- Helen B. Bentley Family Health Center
o 305-447-4950
- Abstinence Between Strong Teens Int, Inc.
HPV Awakening Inc. will be presenting in the Women’s AIDS/HIV day on March 5th, 2012 and the GLBTQ day on April 20th, 2012. If any of you would like to volunteer please let me know. Also if any of you work for Dade county schools and would like us to give our presentation of anywhere for that matter please feel free to contact me. We don’t charge for this guys. It’s about educating and changing the way we deal with this illness. We are approved from Middle school through high schools in Dade county. I have yet to work on Broward because I want to get one area settled and running at a time so that things run smoothly.
Well I’ll keep you updated as things happen to the best of my ability and again thank you for all the support.

Year of the Paperwork
For everyone else in the world this is going to be the year of the Dragon for me? The year of paperwork… When you start telling people you’re going to do a non-profit and they tell you it is a lot of work warning! They do not just mean “work” they mean paper work, lots and lots of paper work.
=:p ah well that’s life isn’t it?
Ok thank you to all those that joined us at the Miccosukee Indian Arts Festival first. It was great seeing those of you from Tampa and my locals :) For those of you that had a bit of a hard time identifying us I am getting to work on the organization shirts. I have the logo, Juan is going to do the final touch-ups ASAP and a-printing we shall go!
Otherwise keep an eye out for a red book-bag with HPV Awakening Inc. on it. I’ll post a picture of it to further help with the visual, or cars with our website on the trunk.
Now the reason for this being the year of the paperwork is simple. The permits involved in getting the bike run going equals paperwork.
501 form equals paperwork
Grant writing equals paperwork
And of course my idea of down time being reading and journaling equals paperwork -_- I think I need new hobbies :p
Joking aside, things are moving and that is key =^_^= Things with the lawyer are well underway thanks to our case “helper(s)”. I am learning my way around the internet for things other than checking my email which, I have finally gotten into the habit of doing regular bases. I have decided to also start video blogging but can’t figure out how to get this thing to record sound 0_o But I have managed to kill the “h” key for the most part on my keyboard, and my cellphone is holding onto dear life out of pure masochism which means it’s still alive and kicking! Oh and I realized I can post these blogs on facebook as notes not just on the blog sites I am registered on.
The Morikami Japanese Museum is having its New Year Festival this Sunday sadly I am not sure if I will be able to attend for I have my bill paying job to go to but other HPV Awakening Inc. Supporters will be there if any of you would like to attend! I’ll post the event up tomorrow with all the usual info. I am having a bit of a hard time setting up the support group because I do not get my work schedule till Sunday and it starts the following Monday. Next week when it comes out I will just post a support group meeting at a local starbucks in North Miami Beach and see how that goes. I am sorry if it will be super last minuet but I have little control over my hours as I am new to this job.
Also I go into the school system Friday the 13 for material approval! Wish me luck this means once approved we as an organization can start addressing local middle and high schools. I will be releasing the dates I will be speaking at Barry, Miami Dade College, FIU, UM, NOVA, and so on as they come in.
I will keep you all updated with how things are going as they come to me. In February don’t forget we have another yard sale fundraiser that Tate’s comics is helping out with, so is Asbestos Accessories, and J2 Creations. Not sure on the location is will either be at the Hollywood fresh market or he Swap Shop. But I’ll get back to you on that.
Oh and special thanks to our first cash donation not sure if you want to be named abaut I will at least thank you! :)

Knights, WEAM, Discrimination
Wow super special thanks to all of those who joined us at WEAM! It was a great experiences and again thank you to WEAM for having us! I look forward to going back again J
I would also like to give a special thanks to the Fort Lauderdale Chrome Knights (http://www.facebook.com/events/283551758362362/#!/profile.php?id=100002976814789 ) for meeting with me and willing to do a bike ride fund raiser for us! Now it is a matter of getting permits in Broward and getting everything together.
Our next get together will be the Miccosukee Indian Arts Festival Jan. 1st, 2012 9:30am – 5:30pm. The prices vary upon your age and it’s all posted on our calendar. If you want to join give me a call 786-260-2092.
The lawyer is getting things together to start putting things in motion. I am nervous. I know how this illness is viewed and I know that has to change. And that people have to start taking responsibility for their actions when those actions can and do affect others especially other people’s health. Also we have to start talking about this illness sweeping this under a rug and not talking about it doesn’t make it go away.
This illness is real it impacts us and by talking about it people can start changing it. We still ignore the fact that as studies are taking place they are still focusing on women and not the fact that men carry this illness as well. We all have the P53 gene yet again men are being ignored for health issues that the virus can cause as it impacts this gene.
One step at a time. But I really can’t wait for people to realize that people discriminate. We see color, gender, race and religion. Illnesses do not care or see any of things so why do we keep ignoring that fact?
