"My people perish for lack of knowledge"
Hosea 4:6
   
Welcome to my Homepage
   
My name is Petra Mangum, pen name Stonie, and I am compelled to educate as many people as possible to prevent the spread of life threatening and health challenging diseases like HIV/AIDS and STD's. I have revealed the raw truth of my experience of living well with HIV for over 23 years after contracting the virus from my first husband.

-----------------------------------------

My book, entitled "You Wouldn't Know If IDidn't Tell You", was authored to give hope and inspiration to the people who are still living in denial and fear. This book can make a difference in your life. As a Certified HIV/AIDS Educator, motivational speaker and consultant, I have traveled extensively to share my experiences while educating and promoting awareness and prevention about this pandemic. I am respectfully acknowledged as the light that dispels the darkness, especially for the women who have concerns about their relationships and have a desire to live a healthier and more responsible life.

As such, I continue on this special assignment 'chosen for such a time as this' to be a voice for the many women that suffer with this disease in silence and shame. My commitment to service stretches from the halls of academia to the sidewalks of social services and is fueled by my personal experiences of living in the solution by embracing a holistic approach that blends the mind, body and spirit to achieve living a responsible, healthy Christ-centered lifestyle.

My mission includes mobilizing churches, community centers, medical centers, correctional facilities, hospices, shelters, schools, group homes for teens, drug and alcohol facilities that request me to be a keynote speaker and conduct workshops on prevention and awareness of HIV/AIDS. This includes counseling women newly diagnosed with the virus as well.

In conclusion, as a Chaplain of the United Chaplain International Worldwide Outreach Inc., I presently hold the office of Executive Director of HIV/AIDS Ministry Department and I am the founder of "Ministry of Wellness, Awareness, Restoration (W.A.R.) Inspirations. For additional information about my work or to schedule a speaking engagement, please email your inquiry or request to blessedrock50@aol.com.
