Living Whole Despite the Hurt : LGBTQ Experience in the Black Church with Donta Morrison | Episode 20

Dontá Morrison is a Los Angeles-based community change agent focused on bridging gaps and improving the lives of marginalized individuals. He works tirelessly to change the way communities engage in conversations about sex, sexual behavior, and human sexuality. HIV Plus magazine listed him as one of the top 20 most amazing HIV+ people of 2018. He is the recipient of numerous awards and recognized by many for his ambitious approach to sexual health within communities of color. Additionally, he has challenged the traditional Black church to be more inclusive and welcoming of persons from all sexual identities. Realizing that faith-based sexual exclusion plays a negative role in how LGBTQ persons deal with themselves, he aims to shift the paradigm in that area.This episode we discuss 🌈The key to consistently practicing safer sex🌈The traditional Black American church and its relationship to queerness🌈Developing a personal relationship with God after experiencing religious trauma🌈The connection between self-acceptance and HIV preventionResourcesConnect with Dontáhttps://linktr.ee/donta_morrisonOrder your copy of Decolonizing Wellness: A QTBIPOC Guide to Escape the Diet Trap, Health Your Self-Image, and Achieve Body Liberation 📧 Get your free copy of Beat the Binge: Decoding Your Hunger  https://www.daliakinsey.com/linksJoin the Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/decolonizingwellness💻Learn more about working with me 1:1 Mastering Intuitive Eating and Self-Trust Total Transformation Program --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bodyliberation/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bodyliberation/support This is a public episode.
