Ken Almanza, PrEP navigator at APLA Health and Wellness, inducted into the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude in October 2015 for his passion for life, keen ability to connect, positive attitude, dedication to people of color, promotion of health equity, fierce advocacy for sexual wellness and his mastery building relationships and seeing people. The world is a better place (Los Angeles and APLA you are lucky folks!) because of Ken and his work. About the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude!“The plain fact is that the world does not need more successful people, but it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.” David OrrI deeply admire those who "live well in their places." The ordinary and the unsung who offer to the world the very best parts of themselves without expectation. This is a beautiful expression of love in her calm, persistent, generous manner - offering a ripple of change (a metamorphosis) to the world. Inductees to the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude are caped in recognition of their contributions to a love-filled world.
