We were lucky to catch up with Tiffany Quinton recently and have shared our conversation below.

Tiffany, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Was there a moment in your career that meaningfully altered your trajectory? If so, we’d love to hear the backstory.

I was a girl living my life and got it with a disease that I knew nothing about..People see me as being strong. But they had know Idea. About what I was facing.They knew I was out and about and didn’t want anyone to know that I was living with HIV.I hid behind my my story for years and my doctor so I can share my story but I was frightened and scared because that means if I told my story that everybody would know I prayed about it and call my partner and she prayed and that gave me a peace that I could release that demon now. I didn’t have to worry about who was told who I didn’t tell cause it was all out.

Tiffany, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a black female and people see me as being out in the public all the time but that has not always been my story I hid my diagnosis for years and my doctor had the news media come to my house so I can share my story but I was frightened and scared because that means if I told my story that everybody would know prayed about it and call my prayer partner and she prayed and they gave me a peace that I could release that demon now I didn’t have to worry about who was told who wasn’t told cause it was all out

Have you ever had to pivot?

When there’s a new diagnosis you have to pivot you have to learn how to readjust your life we’re just the places where you go the places where you eat and just your relationships you are just everything has to be streamlined even the way I care for my baby had to be streamlined and it was just an unfortunate But I’m the better person now because my life has saved so many others and I’ve made able to help others with the bag of lemons that I was issued..

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

The lesson that was unlearn is that mommy said trust people and after I got diagnosed that went out the window cause now I trust nobody with my body because my body is my responsibility it is not for everyone not even my space in my peace it’s for everyone so we were taught to love and trust everybody but after this this is taught me That I am still responsible for what happens to me I’m not responsible for how people treat me but I’m responsible for high treat other people..
