When Princess Kasune Zulu was diagnosed with HIV nearly 20 years ago, the disease carried heavy stigma in her native Zambia.

Since then, Princess Kasune has advocated for education and healthcare for HIV/AIDS-affected communities. Her journey as founder and spokesperson for her non-profit Fountain of Life , brought her from a one-room village school in Zambia to being a guest at the White House.

For our Global Activism segment, Zulu will share with us her experiences as a leader in the fight against AIDS.
