The MAP podcast team!



Jamanii Brown
I'm 17 and I'm a senior in high school. As a Peer Advocate in MAP I teach my peers about HIV/AIDS and Sexuality Education. In general I like to use my theatrical skills to reach out to my peers and bring them joy and information. I plan on becoming a psychiatrist and working with children involved in traumatic events...in Maine!


Anika Butler
Hi, my name is Anika. I am a 17-year-old senior in New Orleans that serves as a Peer Advocate in the MAP program. I want to study political science in college and eventually continue my education in law school. I love to write and do photography, and I am also an avid learner who wants to educate my fellow peers in sexual health and other important topics.


Naijha Dailey
I'm 17, and I enjoy educating peers about HIV/AIDS. I learn how to make responsible decisions and have fun while doing it. I want to work in the medical field and I learn many helpful things in this program.


Erick Dillard
As a Peer Advocate I learn about safer sex tips, HIV/AIDS and STIs. By learning these things I tell a friend, who tells a friend, and so on! That means just one person with a cause can save others. I'm a senior at John McDonogh. After high school I will be joining the army. Then after that I will be going off to college to study mass communication (specifically, broadcast journalism).


Keiandré Hall
I'm a person with a positive mindset and strong future goals. I strive to be the best at everything I do. I love to learn new things and take those ideas and share them with my peers around me. I believe in everybody and encourage my peers to do better.

Nicholas Hampton
My name is Nick, I'm 17 years old and go to "The Mc" (John McDonogh High School). I like math courses in school and like to come to MAP because I teach people about HIV, STIs, and condoms, and it's a good way to help other young people. My future goals are getting out of high school, joining the army, and becoming a pastor.

Seandré Napoleon
Peer Advocates basically have life experience similar to those they are serving and provide peer counseling to others. The work I do as a Peer Advocate in MAP is valuable to me. I want to strengthen my communication and helping skills to provide support to others.

Larisa Williams
Hi, my name is Larisa. I am 16 years old. I am a Junior in high school. I am a MAP Peer Advocate. I love to help my peers out and give them knowledge about HIV and STIs. I would like to be a pediatrician when I grow up. I always strive for excellence in everything I do. I hope that we as Peer Advocates really turn the tide of the HIV epidemic. I hope that my work here at MAP will help my peers in a big way.
