In this episode I’m joined by special guest, Deputy Director for the Center for Black Equity, Kenya Hutton to talk about DC Black Pride 2023 in Washington, DC.
We discuss:
-The weekend events for DC Black Pride
-Discuss why DC Black Pride was necessary
-Share health inequities affecting the Black Pride community
-Talk about steps we can take to improve health inequities
June is Pride month where nationally we recognize the LGBTQIA+ community which stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual. The 'plus' is used to signify all of the gender identities and sexual orientations that are not specifically covered by the other five initials. We’re excited to have our second guest join us. He’s a big deal with a very busy schedule, so my other co-host Alisha and Geraldine, also busy working clinicians, were not able to join us, but send their love.
