Warrior Princess: Fighting for Life with Courage and Hope

Author Bio: Princess Kasune Zulu

Princess Kasune Zulu, a native of Zambia, is an educator for World Vision’s HIV and AIDS HOPE Initiative. She speaks about the HIV and AIDS crisis around the world and aims to raise awareness about related issues such as education for girls, child labor, child soldiers, child prostitution, human rights, and gender equality. After losing both her parents to AIDS by the time she was seventeen, Zulu herself tested positive in 1997. She then embarked on a campaign to educate other Zambians to protect themselves. Since her diagnosis, she has dedicated her life to fighting the global AIDS epidemic and has become a much sought-after keynote speaker. Zulu was part of a delegation to the White House’s Oval Office that met with President Bush and former Secretary of State Colin Powell, convincing the US government to commit fifteen billion dollars to the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. She is also the cofounder and former associate pastor of Apostolic Church in Zambia Newton Branch.
