The P2 Initiative

We here at LLM are more than just fashion - some of the time.



The P2 Initiative has Launched! This extension of The Promiscuity Project is an ongoing pilot program at the University of Michigan!

Alpha Phi Alpha has partnered with the Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs, University Health Services, and the Black Student Union in establishing “The p2 Initiative” at the University of Michigan’s campus. “The p2 Initiative' main goal is to increase HIV testing among minority students.

Every Tuesday, starting February 2, 2010 Free/Anonymous HIV Testing will be held in the MESA Office of the University's campus from 6-7pm.



Here's a little background on the photographer, Rod Gailes OBC and the Cause:

As a 'single frame movie-maker,' OBC uses fine art photography to create a 10-image lifestyle campaign that promotes HIV testing and safer sex practice among college adults. As a lifestyle and fine art photographer, OBC's unique approach to visual art solidifies his brand as a true visionary and storyteller.

"No matter what medium I work in, it's all storytelling. In the case of "A Private Moment", I just have a smaller canvas to work with: a single frame. In a motion picture, I have 24 frames per second; tens of thousands of frames depending on the length of the film. Telling a story in one frame, however, is the ultimate practice in honing my skills as a sculptor of narrative. " -Rod Gailes OBC
