Born in Qqeberha in the 1990s, popular Aids activist Nozibele Mayaba’s
upbringing was one of struggle and strife. She was raised by the tough
hand of her mother in the confines of a strict Christian household.
Nozibele strove to be the “good girl” that everyone adores to win her
mother’s approval and the affection of her absent father.
She lived by the book and was steered by her faith. Hers becomes a life
of firsts. She is the first person in her family to travel overseas.
The first to graduate from university. It is also her first love, with
his infectious smile that infected her with HIV.
This diagnosis throws her life into disarray. Fearing stigma and
feeling the need to maintain her “good girl” image, she kept her status
a secret. However, she soon succumbed to depression. It is in the
aftermath, when she picks up the broken pieces of her life that she
finds purpose in all the pain she has endured.
She went public with her story in a video that when viral and launched
her onto a new path. Nozibele, who has since gotten married and
recently became a mother, has made it her mission to hold open
conversations about her journey living with HIV.
Told with gut wrenching honesty, Nozibele is at her most vulnerable in
this brave account about what it means to live and love beyond HIV.
