"DON'T YOU HEAR ME CALLING YOU MISS HONEY?!" Excited to share the trailer for my documentary short film "Miss Honey: the Catsuit" about the audacious Moi (pronounced Whaa) Renee, featuring the talented ballroom icon & fashion designer Douglas Says.💚✨

I talked to my grandma today about my recent breakup. This was the first time we talked about an ex as a “pareja,” a partner, and not an “amigo,” a friend. I’m beyond grateful that my family supports me and that this 72 year old Salvi woman from the campo has my back.

This is why I will look down at each one of you when you quote Churchill

"#DoxyPEP looks slightly more attractive because you've got a much lower exposure to antibiotics overall, with simply 1 tablet taken within 72 hours of exposure as opposed to taking a tablet every day." Listen to latest #HIVunmuted with Sharon Lewin: iasociety.org/podcast/12-gam…

I spoke on Global Black Gay Men Connect’s panel about the role of Black queer journalists. For me, that means hiring writers from affected communities to tell their own stories. Or to quote people from the affected community to ensure their perspectives are centered. #PutPeopleFirst

During the height of the #AIDS crisis, bigots vilified people from Haiti as vectors of the virus. And now, two bigoted candidates for the highest office in the USA are stigmatizing the community again. If you’re still undecided, I hope that fact helps you to make up your mind.

Talk to community. And if you’re not comfortable doing so, practice it until it feels normal. Because it is.

Because of the weather, I’m not able to make it to my hotel (the Holiday Inn in NOLA) so I’m stuck sheltering in place. When I called to tell the hotel, the customer service agent Ervin was so incredibly helpful! This is the best experience I’ve ever had 🖤

The most devastating news and a huge loss for all who knew, loved, respected, and admired Michaela 🖤

Thank you for allowing me to share my perspective on how some journalists sensationalized mpox, 𝚑𝚒𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚌 𝚙𝚒𝚡𝚒𝚎 𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖 𝚐𝚒𝚛𝚕 🍉. As IAS - the International AIDS Society says, #PutPeopleFirst means leading w science & avoiding stigma. Brava, GLAAD for raising these issues.

At USCHA & just heard a longtime HIV survivor say: [We know that] "a closed mouth doesn't get fed & you'd be surprised by the education that you can hinder just because you didn't speak."

Overheard at #USCHA2024: Most projects that involve Black women stay as projects and never become programs. We need to change that & empower Black women. NMAC

I don't understand people who refuse to speak into the mics... that they are holding in their hands.
