In our first episode of Shine a Light On It, Carla shares her unbelievable journey from being homeless and addicted to drugs, to achieving homeownership and becoming a passionate HIV patient navigator.
She recounts the lack of humanity she faced during her diagnosis and the moment a woman named Catherine planted the seed of hope that changed everything.
Carla’s powerful realization, “What the enemy meant for my ruin, God turned into my purpose”, has become the foundation for her work today, proving that lived experience is the highest qualification.
