Volunteer Corps
Tamieka MorrisI am a youth coordinator at Quality of Citizenship Jamaica and an International Youth Activist Network member who is committed to the work of activism internationally and locally which is a passion I have grown to appreciate. Being a small candle in a dark corner of a world that does not seem to be cohesive on issues of equity and equality for gender identity and sexuality, I want to start with my own peers in Jamaica, clearing up misconceptions about HIV/AIDS and other STDs, etc., among diverse groups so that all are aware of their individuals dignity and rights.
