NOTE: The actors will play their main characters along with the following supporting characters: STUDENT ONE LIBRARIAN SERVER STUDENT TWO VOLUNTEER FATHER DAD MOTHER FRIEND BOYS OTHER WOMAN BOYFRIEND JEFA MOM ONE MOM TWO PIMP PERPETRATOR YOUTH ONE YOUTH TWO MR. JOHNSON !2 NOTE: Transformations move quickly from one situation into another as well as one charac- ter to another. Unless otherwise noted, the character is talking to the audience. This should be presented in storytelling style, with the actors portraying the story visually. Music and sound effects should be used to enhance the storytelling. The youth should have the appearance of youth typical for their age, so as not to stand out in a crowd. To be “unseen” and unnoticed. Hallway full of kids in an affluent, suburban high school. Josh enters out of a “door" labeled "locker room," looking around to make sure nobody sees him. His hair is a bit wet, his sleeves pulled up, and bruises on his arms. He has a very full backpack. He appears harried and tired. STUDENT ONE Enters, coming up behind Josh and joins him. Hey, wait up. Josh slows up, but keeps moving. Ready for the big test? JOSH We'll see. I didn't study as much as I'd like. STUDENT ONE You'll get an A anyways. You always do. Hey, you'll be at practice today, right? JOSH Yeah. I better or I'll get kicked off the team. STUDENT ONE No kidding. And you might want to change your shirt once in a while. Just sayin'. He notices Josh’s arms. Whoa…where did you get those bruises? School bell rings. JOSH quickly pulls down his sleeves. !3 JOSH Gotta fly. Later... STUDENT ONE Yeah, later. Table at a fast casual restaurant. There is background music. SARAH To a customer. Here's your order. Is there anything else I can get for you? Library. MADISON is at a table, half study- ing, half sleeping. LIBRARIAN Makes an announcement. The library will be closing in ten minutes. MADISON sits up and starts putting a text book in her backpack. A teddy bear is stick- ing out. Kitchen of a restaurant. Clanking of pots. CARLOS is cooking. SERVER enters. SERVER To CARLOS. Table six is getting the hangrys or something. CRANKY. How's that order coming? CARLOS Coming up...two minutes. !4 ANTHONY is at the door of a house. He rings the doorbell. The door is answered by CUSTOMER. ANTHONY Hi, I'm with Never Been Cleaner Carpet Cleaning. I'll be cleaning your carpets today. Transition sound or music to indicate a different day. Fast food restaurant. JOSH is working behind the counter. STUDENT TWO enters. STUDENT TWO Approaching JOSH. Hey. Wuz up? JOSH Not much. Just working. STUDENT TWO Dude, I can't believe you're flipping burgers. JOSH Yeah, whatever. Can I get you something? STUDENT TWO Gargantuan burger and fries please. Make that a triple. Hey, why don’t I swing by your house tonight, and we can ride together to rehearsal? JOSH Oh, uh thanks but, um, I have to run an errand for my mom on the way...sooo...I'll see you there. Hands him his food. STUDENT TWO Again? Pause. He pays and takes his food. !5 STUDENT TWO (CONT.) Well, catch you later. He starts to exit. JOSH Hey…maybe after rehearsal we could study for that math test together. STUDENT TWO Yeah okay. Your house? JOSH No, my mom will freak out thinking her house isn't clean enough. How 'bout your house? STUDENT TWO Sure. JOSH And can I crash there since it will probably get kinda late? Couch is fine. A car is formed. It’s raining. VOLUNTEER To audience, getting in the car. Hi. I’m a volunteer at a drop-in center for homeless youth. Once a week, I drive youth to a food shelf. It’s pretty cool, because there’s no limit on the amount of food you can take. Except we are limited by the size of my car. ANTHONY, SARAH and another YOUTH get in the car, holding boxes of food. They place the boxes on their laps and jostle for space. Ad lib. So let me ask you something: How many of you have ever gone to the grocery store hungry? (pause) And how did that work out for you? (pause) Right. All I know is that if my husband goes to the grocery store when he's hungry, he comes back with enough food to feed a football team. And there's only the two of us. And he’s not growing anymore…at least not up. So anyways, !6 VOLUNTEER (CONT.) we’re coming back from the food shelf, it’s raining cats and dogs, the trunk is stuffed with bags of food, everybody is holding boxes on their laps, and one of the youth asks: To VOLUNTEER SARAH Hey, any chance you can drop us off since we'll be going right by our place? VOLUNTEER I don’t know. You know the rules. SARAH pleadingly Pleeease! If we have to take the bus, we'll have to walk four blocks, we’ll be totally drenched and we’ll catch pneumonia and die. VOLUNTEER To audience Sheez. We’re supposed to take them back to the drop-in center, and then they typically take the bus to wherever it is they’re going. SARAH To VOLUNTEER C’mon. Just this once. I promise I’ll never ask again. The other volunteer does it. VOLUNTEER To SARAH Okay. But just this once. SARAH Oh thank you! You’re my favorite volunteer! !7 VOLUNTEER Yeah right. So she gives me directions. I pull up to where she told me to go. (pause) I saw nothing but woods. Rain and night sounds. MADISON enters a port-a-potty. She is wearing a hoodie, hood pulled up, full backpack on her back. She is having trouble breathing and is nauseous. She goes up to the port-a-potty, looks to make sure nobody can see her, enters, closes the door and locks it. MADISON Chant-like and terrified. Mama. Tell me another nursery rhyme. Mother Goose. Die, pussy,die. Shut your little eye: When you wake, Find a cake, Die, pussy, die. Sound of rain, wind and coyotes howling. ANTHONY and SARAH are in a dilapidated tent, swatting at mosquitoes and trying to plug up holes in the tent. Anthony is continually trying to get a lighter to work, with no luck. SARAH is terrified and crying. Sound of rain and night sounds. Carlos is standing at a bus stop. We hear the bus approach. CARLOS gets on, puts a token in, and takes a seat. He uses his backpack as a pillow. Sound of bus leaving. JOSH To audience Hi. My name’s Josh. My family is what you might call your “picture perfect” suburban family. Complete with a white picket fence. You know…two parents…2.0 kids…beautiful house with a pool…wealthy community…good schools…church every Sunday… My dad was a senior !8 JOSH (CONT.) executive at a major corporation and a well-respected member of the community: Rotary Club… Little League baseball coach…church council. My mom was a stay-at-home mom. She left a career job to stay home with my sister and me. She volunteered like crazy, practically running everything in the schools. She was also a den mother, Girl Scout leader, and a Sunday school teacher. She always said that raising children was thee most important job in the world, and if she didn't do a good job at that, she’d done nothing. My sister and I? We loved to ride bikes, swim, play with friends…you know…picture perfect family. CARLOS Hi. My name is Carlos. My parents moved here before I was born. They live in an apartment in a suburb close to Minneapolis. I have a younger brother and a younger sister. In my family, our culture is very important. My father is the head of the household, but my mother...my brother and sister and I call her our jefa, which in Spanish means chief or boss. We’re Catholic, and our reli- gion is very important to her. She strives to be like la mama de Jesus, the mother of Jesus. She never let us miss Sunday mass, even when there was a blizzard. Except for once. And then mi jefa made us listen to mass on the radio. Seriously. We had to stand up and kneel and sing and make the sign of the cross and the whole thing. And if we didn’t, my father would snap his fin- gers, and then we knew we better pay attention. We always said our prayers before meals and before bed. My mother prays the rosary, often. She can say it really fast. And in our apartment, there were pictures of the Virgin Mary, Jesus, different patron saints and crosses, velitas...little candles, and mi jefa’s favorite picture, “El Corazon de Jesus.” MADISON Hello.

    Käraste Micke med barn, Tillsammans med er sörjer vi en underbar persons hädangång, och medan ni har förlorat en hustru och en mamma har miljoner av beundrare världen över förlorat en vän och en inspirationskälla. Många av dessa kände att de hade velat prata med er, dela sina historier om Marie med er, om vad hon betydde för dem, och hur mycket hon har förändrat deras liv. Det ni håller i era händer är en samling av över 6200 berättelser, funderingar och minnen från människor ni förmodligen inte kän- ner personligen, men som Marie har gjort ett enormt intryck på. Ni kommer att hitta både sorgliga och glada inlägg förstås, men huvuddelen av dem visar faktiskt hur enormt mycket bättre världen har blivit med hjälp av er, och vår, Marie. Hon kommer att leva kvar i så många människors hjärtan, och hon kommer aldrig att glömmas. Tack för allt Marie, The Daily Roxette å tusentals beundrares vägnar. A A. Sarper Erokay from Ankara/ Türkiye: How beautiful your heart was, how beautiful your songs were. It is beyond the words to describe my sorrow, yet it was pleasant to share life on world with you in the same time frame. Many of Roxette songs inspired me through life, so many memories both sad and pleasant. May angels brighten your way through joining the universe, rest in peace. Roxette music will echo forever wihtin the hearts, world and in eternity. And you’ll be remembered! A.Frank from Germany: Liebe Marie, dein Tod hat mich zu tiefst traurig gemacht. Ich werde deine Musik immer wieder hören.

By Elizabeth Moore Program in Nursing Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Janice Humphreys, Supervisor ___________________________ Michael Cary ___________________________ Sharron Docherty ___________________________ Christina Meade An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Program in Nursing in the Graduate School of Duke University 2017 Copyright by Elizabeth Moore 2017 Abstract Introduction: In the fourth decade of the HIV epidemic, African American women continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV across all age ranges in the U.S. African American women make up only 13% of the female population in the U.S. yet account for 64% of HIV infections among women (Aitcheson et al., 2014). African American women face multiple challenges that intersect to influence how they effectively age into older adulthood and manage their health. Due to the increased challenges experienced by older African American women across the life course, it is imperative to identify factors that may mitigate the challenges of aging with the disease. Scant research exists focusing specifically on older African American women with HIV and thus our understanding of their experiences is still quite limited.
