In this moving episode of The Color Between the Lines, host Esther Dillard speaks with HIV/AIDS activist Janel Kitchen about her personal journey after being diagnosed in 2005. Janel shares how she faced stigma—even from medical professionals who doubted her story—and how she transformed her pain into a mission to uplift others.
As the founder of Positively U, Janel works tirelessly to provide medical care, food, clothing, and emotional support to individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Her powerful story is a reminder that no one should face illness alone or in shame—and that community can heal what stigma tries to destroy.
Listen in and be inspired by her courage, resilience, and dedication to changing lives.
