Dancing With HIV Book Event

Tony "T-Soul" Hughes lived with HIV for 16 years. During that time, he wrote poetry. After his death from complications of HIV/AIDS, his sister Billie Holiday Hughes published those poems in a book called Dancing with HIV.

Billie grew up in Altgeld Gardens on the South Side of Chicago. She built a career in film and television as a key assistant location manager — The Chi (Seasons 1–8), Marvel's Ironheart, Heist 88, Sense8, and more. She is also the person who carried her brother's words to print.

Join us at Jamii Center for the Arts and Media for a reading and conversation with Billie Holiday Hughes about the book, about Tony, and about what it means to preserve someone's voice after they are gone.

Tickets are $20 and include a copy of Dancing with HIV and light refreshments.
