Lucy Chesire’s Trip to the UK
Lucy Chesire is a nutritionist by trade and an activist by calling. In 1997, Lucy became the first female health professional in Kenya to publicly acknowledge her HIV status. In 2000, as is the case with close to 80% of HIV patients who contract tuberculosis in sub-Saharan Africa, Lucy came close to death. She has since recovered from TB and now uses her personal story to educate and engage.
