After hearing about one of my favorite content creators reveal that he is HIV positive, I decided to have a discussion about HIV and AIDS.

Finally, I discuss how I'm looking forward to my first ever Jingle Bells Run on December. 1st. Although I'm looking to beat my run time from my previous race, I will be taking all that the holiday-themed atmosphere has to offer!! A special thank you to Centerpoint Fellowship Church and sponsors for putting on a race that was both challenging and fun!
