Memphian determined to give voice to black women living with HIV
LáDeia Joyce was diagnosed with HIV three years ago. “We don’t have anything geared to education or prevention,” Joyce said of black women. “If it was the flu and white women, it would be the greatest cause of attention. There would be public outcry.” (Mark Weber/Daily Memphian)
Three years after her diagnosis, LáDeia Joyce is in a pharmaceutical ad campaign and on the public speaking circuit.
