About Write It Out!
Founded by award-winning Poz playwright Donja R. Love in 2019, using art, advocacy, and accessibility, Write It Out! (WIO!) provides a community for people living with HIV and AIDS. Holistically, WIO! uses the power of imagination and healing to help shed the shame of living with HIV and combat stigma. Artistically, through writing initiatives, WIO! strengthens participants’ artistic voices and works to transform society and the theatrical landscape into a more equitable and stigma-free space for people living with HIV and AIDS.
Write It Out! is made possible through support:

Please note. HIV Stigma Exists. The decision to openly live with HIV still carries the risk of discrimination. Not all participants of WIO!, current and alum, are open about their status. WIO! honors participants' journeys regarding their HIV status and disclosure. WIO! upholds confidentiality. We ask folks to do the same. We're asking all attendees to refrain from sharing information about WIO! participants - current or alum - unless given clear, direct consent. Thank you for understanding how stigma shows up and honoring the boundaries that need to be created.
