Go on a journey with Anna DeShawn to explore the history, economics, and culture of HIV/AIDS in the Black community. Through interviews and personal stories Anna and her co-host, Duane Cramer, explore the shame, stigma, and solutions. In this episode, Anna and Duane discuss the complex fear of HIV in the Black community and how that fear has impacted the spread of HIV in the Black community. We hear from experts Nathan Townsend, and Deirdre Speaks about the lesser-known impacts of living with HIV in the 80s and 90s and how fear led to legislation that criminalized individuals living with the disease. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽🎙🎧 About Our Guests: Nathan Townsend Nathan Townsend is the HIV Prevention Programs Manager for The National AIDS Education & Services for Minorities (NAESM).
