The MTV Staying Alive Foundation will be hosting a unique
World AIDS Day event, Shuga Talks, in which two simultaneous screenings of MTV
Staying Alive drama Shuga will be held in Nairobi, Kenya and Washington, D.C.
on December today.
Following the screenings, audience
members - those attending in person and watching from home - will have the
opportunity to participate in a live video discussion via satellite, and engage
with other young people around the world using social media platforms, to
address key HIV and AIDS issues highlighted in the show.
Hosted by BET entertainer Big Tigger (Rap City, 106 &
Park) in Washington, D.C. and MTV Africa VJ Kule Ekirapa in Nairobi, viewers at
home will have the chance to tune in to the debate that will be streamed live
at www.mtvshuga.com/shugatalks. In addition, testing centers will be present at
both screenings to encourage audience members to get tested.
“MTV Staying Alive is dedicated to creating new and
innovative ways to empower young people engaged in fighting the stigma, spread
and threat of the HIV and AIDS epidemic around the world,” said Georgia Arnold,
Executive Director of the MTV Staying Alive Foundation. “Shuga is an authentic, provocative
piece of entertainment, and with initiatives like Shuga Talks, we are
encouraging young people to explore important HIV and AIDS issues in unexpected
ways.”
The second series, Shuga:
Love, Sex Money, will premier on Valentine’s Day, February 14th 2012.
