CWTL Crew Q&A: Gregory Cassagnol on why HIV/AIDS and Haiti are important

Why was this subject important to you?

I grew up in New York City as a teenager and young adult when HIV/AIDS made it’s first blip on the Nation’s consciousness. I saw and felt first hand the effects of the stigmas attached to Haitians and their connections to this new and deadly virus. I had family and friends in the community that lost loved ones to HIV/AIDS. My attachment to the subject matter was very personal.
