A Minute With Joe Makeni (Strobist Photographer)

"Listen to your elder's advice, not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong."  ~ Anonymous.

I recently attended a career guidance talk by one of Africa's greatest Strobist Photographers, Joe Makeni. What an honor!

Today, I was priviledged to be part of a regional team of health experts who kicked off preparations for the upcoming World AIDS Day on December 1, 2012. The theme this year is “Getting to zero: Zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS-related deaths.”
