"Where intersections collide is where culture happens."- Anna DeShawn discusses the challenges of being Black, Queer, and a Person of Faith in Media. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including the pressure to conform to different spaces, the importance of amplifying unheard voices, and the power of storytelling.
Anna talks about their experience working on the award-winning podcast series "HIV in the South," which aims to inform people about what's happening in the south and how to support efforts to get to zero new infections. Anna also discusses the lack of funding and intentionality in addressing HIV in black and brown communities and the importance of showing the humanity in people affected by the epidemic.
The episode also touches on the importance of embracing intersections and creating safe spaces for people to be their whole selves. Join us for a candid and uplifting conversation about amplifying unheard voices, creating change, and living at the intersections of different identities and experiences. Listen in and join the conversation.
