Jahlisa A. Ross aka Jahlove Serrano (she/hers, he/him) is a health educator, youth advocate, HIV/AIDS activist, androgynous model/runway coach, Drag Queen, background dancer and choreographer to the stars. He is also a Bronx native of Belizean and Guatemalan descent. Serrano’s peer leadership began shortly before turning 16, when he contracted HIV and made the decision to be very public with his HIV status. He did this in order to combat the ignorance and stigma around HIV/AIDS within the Black and LGBTQ community, and in the Caribbean diaspora. Grounded in social and racial justice, Jahlove has been working in the field of HIV/AIDS prevention, outreach and research on a global, national, and city level to address the needs of HIV positive youth (and with youth in general, regardless of their status) to address homelessness, access to education, and culturally competent mental health and HIV treatment. He has worked with the NYC AIDS Institute, National Gay Men's Advocacy Coalition, The Global Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS North America (GNP+NA), AIDS ALLIANCES, The White House, and the New York State and New York City Department of Health.

Jahlove is currently featured multiple national campaigns, including "HIV Stops with Me,” New York City’s "In Care," and Janssen’s “Positively Gearless” global campaign. Jahlove uses his entertainment platform to promote HIV/AIDS Awareness and education throughout the United States and beyond.

In 2019, Jahlove was inducted in the Caribbean Equality Project’s “Queer Caribbeans of NYC” archive and exhibition, the first-ever multimedia historical retrospective showcasing the racial and cultural intersections of Caribbean LGBTQ rights activists. The exhibit contributes to New York City’s immigrant history by expanding on Caribbean immigrant and first-generation Caribbean-American experiences, through exploring Queer, Transgender, and Gender non-conforming advocacy. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, the exhibition honored and documented 30 years of organizing and featured 22 Caribbean LGBTQ immigrant activists in NYC through the lens of Trinidadian photographer and filmmaker Masheka Joseph’s original portraits.
