This is part 8 of a special series focusing on the community of Honoring Our Experience, and their work with long-term survivors of the HIV/AIDS virus.“I was a reluctant activist,” says Vince Crisostomo of the humble beginnings of his advocacy for LGBTQ communities. He'd done his share of sitting by the bedsides of friends and community members as they succumbed to the deadly virus, but it would be a few more years until he would step into a role he has now occupied for more than 30 years.An invitation to return to his native Guam on World AIDS Day changed all that. They were looking for a gay Chamorro who was HIV positive to speak. “Oh my God that's me,” he thought, but he dismissed it outright. Surely there was someone else, he mused to a friend. But it was his time. A time to lean into the moment.  He didn't want to regret the chances he didn't take.  Now, more than three decades later, he has committed his life to the healing power of community.Vince Crisostomo is a gay Chamorro (Pacific Islander) long-term HIV/AIDS survivor  He is passionate about bringing health care to all and social justice equity to people of every sexual identity, HIV status, gender, race and age.  Vince is currently SFAF's Director of Aging Services and is seated on the SF Human Rights Commission's LGBTQI+ Advisory Committee and California State Equity on Aging Committee.As you listen to this episode, consider:Where are the opportunities to step forward, even reluctantly, to make a difference?What kind of world do we want to “age in to?” What is one thing we can do to work towards that vision?Vince talks about making optimistic choices?  What is one optimistic choice you can make today? Learn more about Honoring Our Experience here.To learn more about Robert Maggio, the composer of "Where Love is Love," our theme music, please check out his website.To learn more about Suzanne, visit her website.

On From Sparks to Light, we hear the stories of people who are making a difference. People who are giving back in various ways. What we don't often hear, however, is the stories of how their actions impact others. What happens because of that work. In 2024, Honoring Our Experience will celebrate its 10th anniversary. Over the next year we will hear the voices of the people who have become integral members of the long-term survivor's community that Honoring Our Experience has helped create. People who never imagined they would live long enough to look back and recognize the path they'd walked and discover the new one that stood in front of them. People who have found their spark and are leading the journey forward.This week, Gregg Cassin, the founder of that extraordinary program and I talk to Carlos Ferriera who tells us how important community was in his recovery and learned to forgive himself and find his purpose.Carlos immigrated to America at the age of 4 from the then Portuguese African colony of the Cape Verde Islands. He grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and fulfilled his parent's dream by becoming the first member of his family to obtain a college degree. In 1982, he left for Southern California as the New York City winters were bleeding him and the pall of death hung heavy.He hoped to escape the ravages of AIDS. But in 1985 he tested positive with a 3-year life expectancy. Fortunately, he turned out to be a long term non-progressor. He survived HIV/AIDS, but  almost did not survive the meth epidemic in the 2010s. He am eternally grateful to SFAF, in particular the harm reduction based Stonewall Project, for helping me turn his life completely around.“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so, with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some STYLE”. - Carlos FerrieraYou can learn more and support the work of Honoring Our Experience here.To learn more about Robert Maggio, the composer of "Where Love is Love," our theme music, please check out his website.To learn more about Suzanne, visit her website.
