Barbara Lewis, Physician Assistant at Whitman-Walker Health, reflects on her experiences working and advocating for LGBTQ+ health. She talks about working at Whitman-Walker for 40 years, and remembers founding the first lesbian health clinic in 1979. She remembers promoting safe sex, and talking about safe sex between women in particular in the 90s. She defines safe sex as protecting yourself against giving/recieving an STI. Barbara reflects on her first time learning about AIDS at Whitman-Walker in 1981, and chronicles the steps the clinic has taken since. She hopes the next generation will take charge of their health and bodies, including practicing safe sex.
Bryan B., a PhD student at American University, shares how COVID has impacted his life. He talks about moving back in with his parents, and how it's nice to spend time with them, but he needs to be careful since his father has cancer. He discusses how the virus has impacted his social justice work, and reflects on how everyone's experience during this time is different and reflects how power and privilege work in our society. He shares how COVID-19 is the filter that reveals how we are currently fractured, and relates to the systematic devaluing of black, brown, Asian, and female bodies. Bryan talks about how the work of DC journalist Reginald Black has kept him going, and gives him hope that there are people we can support. Finally, he hopes that this can be the moment that healthcare for all becomes a thing we can all agree on. He believes that if we can't agree on that in this time, our country is a failed state.
