Hi all,

I wanted to inform you of a new venture and invite any/all to jump in to help it succeed. After 20+ years of work as a reporter in the HIV/AIDS and human rights arena, and a provider of HIV services to rape survivors in Rwanda, I'm returning to my journalism roots to launch a new web magazine soon, using mostly video content. I'll produce and host, with a Charlie-Rose like focus on public conversations with the folks I find the smartest and most innovative in the fields of global AIDS and other issues that cross-cut with AIDS like poverty, development, technology,etc.
