I was honoured to join a panel of activists I greatly admire to talk about anti-racism & decolonizing the AIDS response.
We must tackle systemic racism with urgency. And yet we were mostly talking to ourselves! people with power & privilege didn’t show up! #AIDS2022

Finally transgender people can show up as their authentic selves in MS.

IPV is a serious problem. No woman is obligated to stay and no man should ever tell her that. Do better senator!

@The_MochaLab Was this format presented to a conference? How was this disseminated? The visual impact is impressive.

It isn’t impossible to engage Black and Brown women (18-25 yrs old) in sexual and mental health talks. But, it does take passionate women with a vision. The blueprint loading. @AllynFoundation

The first New Growth overnight retreat. A collaborative effort by Black women for Black women. The retreat is focused on mental and sexual health. Such an honor to partner with the Allyn Foundation, Half Hood Half Holistic, and Sensitive Black Girls Club.

@thesashlab @IjeomaOparaPHD Would love to know if any of these girls have ever heard of PrEP. From my experience Black women haven’t not sure if it’s different for adolescents.
