Then don’t miss the new book “Warrior Princess” recently released by ONE friend and noted Zambian AIDS activist Princess Kasune Zulu (just in time for International Women’s Day!). You can read her powerful story on the ONE blog here.

Here’s what ONE’s President and CEO David Lane had to say about the book:

“This is a fascinating book about a compelling woman who, when faced with personal tragedy, chose not to succumb but to fight—and not just for herself, but for millions of other people affected by extreme poverty and HIV/AIDS. Princess Zulu’s is a challenge to us all to focus less on our own worries and more on the opportunity we have, every day, to help others in our families, communities and around the globe. It is also a reminder about what can be achieved when brave individuals speak out in the face of fear, injustice and stigma.”
