I'm sitting here at the Women's Networking Zone in the Global Village at the XVII International AIDS Conference 2008. I'm here with my friend Leah Okeyo, and I just signed up for PulseWire! It's a little crazy here with the noise all around--the Lucha Libre at the Main Stage, a WNZ program on the speakers behind me, and tons of people speaking all different languages walking by. Being here has been so exciting! My favorite part was the International Women's March that took place yesterday! I bet over a thousand people turned up to march for ALL WOMEN, ALL RIGHTS!
