Karen
McGee, spent her formative years in New Zealand and claimed
Jacksonville, Florida as home in 1988. She has been active in the leather
community for over 14 years. She currently holds in her community, the
Title of North Florida Leather Woman, and is the President of "Code
12 Jax" LL/A.

has been actively involved in all areas of HIV/ AIDS community
awareness, advocacy and activism in NE Florida since 1988 Along with
founding the first non-Department of Health HIV testing site in Florida,
she is a founding member of several HIV/AIDS community and volunteer
based agencies in North East Florida.
Karen's
platform for her Ms World Leather 2002 title year will be raising awareness
and funds for the marginally housed and homeless HIV/AIDS infected communities.
Lack of affordable housing, and emergency funding is a critical problem
facing a growing number of people living with Acquired Immunodeficiency
Syndrome (AIDS) and other illnesses caused by the Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV).
Karen's
hope is to reach as many hearts as possible, expand on emergency housing
funds, and education.
On
a personal note, Karen shares her life and her love with her partner
Gwen, She was blessed with three beautiful children, and now enjoys
watching her infant grandson explore the world, gardening, and chasing
her Corgi puppies.
