In 1996, I founded Aniz, Inc. out of necessity, sparked by the lack of HIV treatment for my godson. Witnessing the impact of systemic racism and prejudice, we began our mission by providing HIV education to underserved communities, focusing on adolescents. Through our journey, we've pioneered a non-judgmental approach to trauma, addressing multiple layers of harm and fostering holistic recovery. Today, Aniz continues to evolve, tackling issues from hunger to systemic injustice, guiding individuals towards a brighter, more hopeful future.
