I've met the face of AIDS
My name is Ange, and this is my story. The first time I stepped into Africa was in 2004. It was in Kitale, Kenya, on a mission trip. I met a young boy named Andrew.

This left me angry and confused. I often felt misplaced. In college, I began to ask questions about my family’s past. I hoped to find something that would explain all the childhood teasing and bullying....
