SweetDreams: Inspiring happiness in the face of HIV, aging and its mental health challenges
Hosted by: The University of Toledo Medical Center - Ryan White Program
Benefiting: The Ann Wayson Locher Memorial Fund for HIV Care
Performance by: Toledo’s own Ramona Collins
Program presentation: Mental Health Challenges
Keynote address and performance: Ms. Jennifer Holliday
A southern style buffet will be served.
Jennifer Holliday is a “singer’s singer,” a diva with a voice that can leave an audience absolutely breathless. With her superlative skills, soulful artistry, and church-influenced technique, Holliday’s “spine-tingling” hits—“And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” and “I Am Changing” from the Broadway Smash Hit “Dreamgirls”—catapulted her to stardom and national recognition, and still bring audiences to their feet.
But things haven’t always gone smoothly. Holliday was in despair for more than ten years before she could admit to herself that she had more than a case of the blues. Now she shares her story of overcoming depression—day by day—and stresses that seeking medical treatment for this common disease is the key to successful recovery.
