Jennifer Hudson meets Ian Haddock, the founder and executive director of The Normal Anomaly Initiative in Houston, Texas. The non-profit aims to assist and empower Black, queer-identifying people in overcoming barriers and social stigma. In support of World AIDS Day, Jennifer surprises Ian with $10,000 from The Gilead COMPASS Initiative so he can continue his work in encouraging HIV testing and helping end stigma for those living with HIV. The Gilead COMPASS Initiative (Commitment to Partnership in Addressing HIV/AIDS in Southern States) supports organizations working to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Southern U.S. The initiative focuses on providing concentrated financial support in the region to reduce HIV-related health disparities, build awareness, advance education, and reduce stigma. #GileadCOMPASSInitiative #GileadPartner
