In this episode of The Skittle Squad Podcast, we sit down with Jason Fields, 2025 Voice for Equality Award Winner, President of the Krewe of Cavaliers, triathlete, and longtime community leader. From cycling with Tampa Bay Area Cyclists to leading Kick Up Your Heels for 12 years, Jason has built a life centered on giving back, connecting, and fighting for equality.
The conversation dives into his journey in addiction medicine, the importance of visibility in LGBTQ+ leadership, and why fundraising and advocacy are so vital in today’s climate. Jason reminds us that unity, courage, and storytelling aren’t just tools for activism they’re lifelines for building stronger, more inclusive communities.
This episode explores:
- How community events like Kick Up Your Heels fuel fundraising & connection
- The power of advocacy in breaking down fear and building unity
- Why local politics matter and how to rock the vote
- Communication, responsiveness, and building healthier relationships
- Cycling, triathlons & exercise as tools for resilience and mental health
- The role of Equality Florida and LGBTQ+ organizations in driving real change
Jason’s story is proof that one person can truly set change in motion and that when we move as a community, we’re unstoppable.
