In addition, Jocelyn Frank is the creative director and managing producer for Voices of Health. The multi-stage project engages HIV positive residents across the nation's capital to share and record their personal "stories of diagnosis," in an effort to diminish the stigma and reduce the sense of isolation that can come with a change in health status. Voices of Health is supported in part by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
