Transformations were afoot, and there was a courageous desire for change, even with the stark realities of HIV and AIDS-related illnesses looming. At the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban in 2000, Nkosi Johnson, aged 11, took the stage to give an impassioned speech emphasizing the importance of young people in responding to the AIDS pandemic. His call heralded an explosion of youth-focused initiatives, including the project that started this book. In My life follows the paths of a group of racially diverse young AIDS activists from Khayelitsha and Atlantis, first brought together as part of an educational HIV-prevention programme in Cape Town in 2002. Over the next twenty years, we follow their inspiring and harrowing journeys, as they move from hopeful and passionate teen activists, through the tragedies and triumphs of transitioning to adulthood. With candour, they tell stories of hardships and loss, mental health issues, grief and violence, but also of personal transformations, love, friendship, artistic achievements, community connection and thrilling social justice wins. Connected to each other, and to their communities, their stories provide a glimpse into the long tale of activism and of educational work, forever asking the question: what difference does it make. As the early post-apartheid enthusiasm and activism transformed and changed, stories have been a place where one could find solace and refuge, or find ways to be connected again. The stories in In My Life reflect the shifting times and context in South Africa, the transformation of the country and the complicated life stories of everyday life in the cracks of those who are artists, writers, creators, activists, researchers, teachers and many other things in between and beyond." --Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Storytelling, friendship and activism -- Creative practices, young people and the AIDS pandemic -- Overtime/over time -- Background to the projects -- Kaylene Schroeder -- Khayalethu (KK) Mofu -- Lindeka Cynthia Rwida Joka -- Mathew Johannes -- Ann Thembeka Dipa -- Nosibusiso (Nosy) Mcunukeli -- Mphumzi Mphura Xokozela -- Bridgette Magqaza -- Thozamile (Thozzi) Vanto -- Danlia Wiener -- Chinomy Jacobs -- Mandla Oliphant -- This is not the last chapter. 650 0 $a AIDS activists $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Children $x Political activity $z South Africa. 650 0 $a AIDS (Disease) 650 0 $a AIDS (Disease) $x Social aspects $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $z South Africa. 650 7 $a AIDS activists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794022 650 7 $a AIDS (Disease) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00793808 650 7 $a AIDS (Disease) $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00793952 650 7 $a Children $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855099 650 7 $a Sexual minorities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01202158 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Personal narratives. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Walsh, Shannon, $e editor. 700 1 $a Mitchell, Claudia, $e editor. 700 1 $a Oliphant, Mandla, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031124.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=133C2306253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
