I stopped by Essence Now to talk about race and such

I was invited to appear on ESSENCE Now's Kitchen Table Talk for a discussion called "Talking To White People About Race" with Essence's Christina Coleman, Jezebel's Rich Juzwiak, and Daveen Trentman, co-founder and Production Director of the Soze Angency, hosted by the lovely Makho Ndlovu.

There was wine. There was pizza. There were some uncomfortable truths.

That time I was on a Human Rights Campaign panel about Minority LGBTQ Mental Health

Last month, I joined a squad of mental health advocates and practitioners on a panel at the Human Rights Campaign to close out Minority Mental Health Month. We discussed mental and emotional issues among LGBTQ folks of color. There were two panels that day. You should totally watch both, but the one I'm on begins at around 42 minutes in.
