Ambassador Spotlight: Felisha Moore

When asked why she “Rocks the Red Pump,” Felisha had this to say:

I “Rock the Red Pump” for me, I have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS since July of 2005, by a man that knew his status. I “Rock the Red Pump” for those whose journey has ended and for the people that have not found their voice yet.

Since her diagnosis, Felisha has become an HIV/AIDS educator, motivational speaker, and activist. She is also the mother of a one year old. As a Red Pump Ambassador, she recently hosted her first event, Red Pump’s First Annual Rock the RED: Youth Skate Jam. This event was the first of its kind for Red Pump, in that it targeted a younger demographic, while encouraging parental participation. The event was held June 24th at the Starlight Roller Rink in Charlotte. Over 80 people attended the skate jam, showing off their skills on the rink and mingling with others in support of HIV/AIDS Awareness. One of the highlights of the evening was the raffle, which brought out plenty of excitement from children of all ages. In addition to raising awareness, Rock the RED: Youth Skate Jam also raised money to benefit Community Empowerment, an organization that provides services to people living with HIV/AIDS.

We at The Red Pump Project, appreciate Felisha for her efforts to raise awareness and proudly shine this spotlight on her for a job well done!
