Kenya Body Maps
Barbara Kimegisha (TICAH & Point Of View)
KenyaGALLERYCONVERSATION
My face is black to show the stress and sadness and depression from when I learned of my HIV status....
I marked Baby Susan with stars to show the love and hope for her life. I have ongoing counseling and I have friends and a community who help and support me. All in all making a body map was among the greatest things I have done in my life.
For therapy I use antiretroviral drugs. To stay healthy I try to balance my diet by eating cereals (maize, beans, porridge mix, rice, cassava); vegetables (pig weed, cabbages, spinach, MacDonald eye, kale); fruits (oranges, bananas, carrots, watermelon); and spices (ginger, cinnamon, pepper, a little garlic). To look after my mental health I go for counseling and to support groups. And for my emotional health I go to church, pray, read the bible and talk to friends.
