Brought to you by Beyond Stigma and Zvandiri, the ‘Dear Me’ podcast series contains a unique set of letters and poems written by young people living with HIV in Zimbabwe. Following their participation in a course on self-stigma and shame, they were asked to address a letter to themselves – and the results were beautiful, brave and evocative reflections on self-empowerment. The Wakakosha course – meaning ‘You are worth it’ in Shona – was implemented by Beyond Stigma and Zvandiri in Zimbabwe last year. We sincerely thank the incredible young people who participated in this project - you are the 'leaders of the future'.
