Jazz on Cottage: Confronting Stigma, Embracing Healing

On August 20, music became medicine, and conversation became community.

At the Center on Cottage Grove, the Circle came together for a night of live jazz, reflection, and dialogue. More than a concert, this gathering was a chance to confront HIV stigma and to embrace healing through music, joy, and connection.

Power, Presence, and Healing in Every Note

Scroll through the gallery and relive the energy of the evening — from powerful performances to heartfelt conversations. These moments remind us that when we gather, we create spaces where wellness and belonging thrive.

Our work doesn’t end when the music fades. Every class, every reflection, and every page of the magazine is another step toward Zero stigma, Zero shame, and Zero new HIV infections.
