Bre Azañedo is the Manager of the Black Lives Matter Paterson Harm Reduction Program.

Bre earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from William Paterson University. She is an Afro-Latina educator and activist. Through her work, she strives to raise awareness and resources, and educate people on safer sex practices, harm reduction, and HIV prevention methods. Bre serves as Black Lives Matter Paterson Harm Reduction program manager. In this role, she identifies barriers and develops programs and initiatives to help participants overcome them. She believes that an important part of ending HIV is meeting people where they are, walking beside them, and helping them find and amplify their voices—all of which is done through building genuine relationships with people. Bre also serves as a member of the Black Harm Reduction Network. She is looking forward to continuing to break down HIV stigma, increasing awareness, and providing education on a larger scale to the Black and Latino communities.
