Titan Capri

TITAN CAPRI BIO TITAN CAPRI SERVES AS A PROGRAM MANAGER FOR THE NORMAL ANOMALY INITIATIVE WHERE THEY JUST LAUNCHED THE TRANS ALLY COLLECTIVE. HE IS ALSO AN AUTHOR, ENTERTAINER, FATHER, PHOTOGRAPHER, AND THE HOST OF A POPULAR PODCAST CALLED #T2P PODCAST ON FB AND YOUTUBE LIVE EVERY M. W. FRI @ 8AM. HE HAS AN EXTENSIVE CAREER IN BANKING, AFTER WORKING IN CORPORATE FOR 11 YEARS. HE DECIDED TO MOVE AWAY FROM HIS CAREER AND PURSUE HIS LOVE OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND STORYTELLING. HE HAD NO IDEA THE ROUTE HE WOULD TAKE AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH AIDS 15 YEARS AGO. IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND TOOK HIM DOWN A PATH OF UNHEALTHY BEHAVIOR. ABOUT 2 YEARS INTO HIS DIAGNOSIS HE DECIDED TO TAKE SOME TIME TO WORK ON BEING POSITIVE AND HEALTHY! HE KEPT THIS SECRET UNTIL MARCH OF 2019, WHEN HE MADE A BOLD AND INTENTIONAL MOVE TO COME OUT ABOUT HIS HIV+ STATUS! THIS TRUTH CAME WITH A GREAT SENSE OF FREEDOM. HE IS GRACEFULLY AGING WITH HIV WHILE BEING A BLACK, GAY MALE LIVING AND THRIVING IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON. OVER THE LAST YEAR HE HAS BECOME AN HIV ADVOCATE BELIEVING THAT EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE HEARD! NOW WORKING AS A PEER NAVIGATOR WITH AFH (AIDS FOUNDATION HOUSTON) HE IS ON THE FRONT LINES OF MAKING SURE THAT RECENTLY DIAGNOSED CLIENTS HAVE THE MENTAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL SUPPORT THEY NEED. HE BELIEVES THAT ONE WAY TO ERADICATE HIV IS TO BE THERE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF A CLIENT DIAGNOSIS. HE BELIEVES THAT BEING VOCAL ABOUT WHAT HE HAS BEEN THROUGH AND THE CHALLENGES HE HAS FACED COULD HELP THOSE WHO ARE FACING THE VERY THING HE FACED 15 YEARS AGO! TITAN’S MOTTO AND MANTRA IS “WE CAN NO LONGER BE SILENT”!
