Who are the AIDS Awareness Poets?
The AIDS Awareness Poets Inc.(A.A.P) is an
organization designed to educate our community on social issues. HIV is the
primary cause; black history being second and all else (voting, domestic
abuse...etc) comes after.
We
do this by using a mixture of MTV/BET/Pop culture
techniques to gain the attention of our targeted audience to inform, infect and
affect them with the knowledge of social issues.
Each chapter has a
president and a performing arts chair. The president acts as the main
coordinator for that particular area. For the first six phases of the “Passion
Plan” the performing arts chair will act as a direct assistant to the
president. After the first six phases, the performing arts chair will set up
programs in the community to routinely educate people about HIV, using the arts
to inform.
