A Legacy of Pride: DC Black Pride 2023

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 inequitiesJune 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. Resources related to the episode:Kenya Hutton - Center for Black Equity https://centerforblackequity.org/our-leadership- Capital Pride Alliance https://www.capitalpride.org/team_members/kenya-hutton/- LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenyahutton  DC Black Pridehttps://dcblackpride.org/https://www.instagram.com/dcblackpride/?hl=enCenter for Black Equity https://centerforblackequity.org/Stonewall Riots (PBS) https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/stonewall/The ClubHouse, an LGBTQIA gathering spothttps://dchistory.org/the-clubhouse/American Heart Association recognizes PRIDE https://newsroom.heart.org/news/health-equity-is-the-focus-of-lgbtq+-pride-month-celebrations-across-the-countrySubstance Abuse and Mental Health Services Association (SAMHSA) https://www.samhsa.gov/blog/experiencing-pride-at-samhsaSAMHSA Programs and Initiatives https://www.samhsa.gov/behavioral-health-equity/lgbtqiGet Insured https://www.hrc.org/resources/get-insured-affordable-care-act-resources-for-the-lgbt-communityDoxy-pepDoxypep factsheet https://publichealthproviders.sccgov.org/sites/g/files/exjcpb951/files/documents/DoxyPEP%20%282%29.pdf Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) https://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/2022/Doxy-PEP-clinical-data-presented-at-2022-AIDS-Conference.htmlNational Coalition of STD Directors https://www.ncsddc.org/std-directors-applaud-potentially-revolutionary-doxypep-research/ For CliniciansBuild an inclusive care practice https://www.mahoganydermatology.com/news/building-an-inclusive-care-practiceHUED Health Equity Courses for clinicians https://huedco.com/courses/ *This show is for educational purposes only.
