today i interviewed another undocumented immigrant living with HIV for my master's project. this experience was much more intense than the first interview. she was 47 years old, from malaysia, and a mother of two young sons back home. she broke down crying a few times during the interview. combined with my interview yesterday with the girl who had two abortions and was sexually assaulted by her partner, it's been a heavy week. i'm glad that i'm privileged to hear these people's stories and write about them. these stories beg to be told.
