Community Stories: Babes Network

10/15/200713:22

The BABES Network-YWCA, a support group for women living with HIV and AIDS, started in the 1980s as a potluck gathering. Today, it has grown into a non-profit organization partnered with the YWCA, and finds ways to support its members as their needs evolve. Here, the Babes share their stories through a workshop and theater performance, called Positive Dreams: Weaving Stories of Our Sisterhood.
