I was asked by the New York State Department of Health to submit a sketch for one of their new campaigns focusing on HIV/AIDS awareness. The character is a transgender woman who contracted HIV as a teen and suffers from depression because she conceals her identity. She’s only her true self when she goes out late at night with friends. Usually I say no to free speculative (or “spec”) work, but this seemed like a good cause and a worthwhile gig if they like the sketch, so I gave it a shot.
