Do you know why African-Americans align with so many COVID-19 co-morbidities? Structural racism. Food deserts=unequal access to healthy & fresh foods= diabetes, heart disease. Enviro injustices mean dirty air, water. Greed & neglect, subpar housing=asthma

[Beyondqueerstories @Beyondqueerpod]

This week we talk w/Nchedo, who talks about their nonbinary and queer identity & how family dynamics & their Nigerian roots impacted their understanding of them self & their queerness.
