Suttlepoints

Transforming Lived Experience into Leadership, Strategy, and Systems Change

Suttlepoints is a curated resource hub connecting analysis, lived experience, advocacy tools, and strategic insight across public health, policy, and community-based work. It is where ideas, practice, and purpose meet—designed to support learning, reflection, and action.

The Hub is organized by function, not chronology. Writing, media, and resources are grouped according to how they are meant to be used—whether to document lived experience, build leadership capacity, inform policy strategy, or support ethical public health practice.

The Five Pillars

The Hub organizes content across five core pillars:

  • Ending HIV Criminalization

    Policy- and systems-focused resources examining HIV criminalization as a legal and public health failure, and outlining pathways for reform.

  • Public Health & Human Rights

    Analysis exploring how law, health, and human rights intersect—centering institutional responsibility, equity, and accountability.

  • Leadership & Capacity Building

    Trainings, tools, frameworks, and coalition-building resources designed to equip advocates, practitioners, and leaders to act within systems.

  • Storytelling & Media

    Archived narratives, interviews, and reflections that document lived experience and movement history. These materials are preserved as record, not requirement.

  • Higher Education & Mentorship

    Teaching, learning, and leadership development work connected to higher education and mentorship, growing intentionally over time.

Across all five pillars, the Hub reflects my commitment to translating lived experience into practical insight—supporting strategy, leadership, and more ethical public health responses without relying on repeated personal disclosure.
