Supporting the LGBTQIA Community with Affirming Care
7/7/2019
Episode 13 of #DontMentionIt features a conversation with Dr. Dalton Connally. We talk about the importance of affirming care for the LGBTQIA+ community, how the LGBTQIA+ community is not a monolith, and the idiocy of the boxes we put ourselves in.
*Note: I mention in the intro that it is Pride Month, but obviously this episode is not releasing in June - just a reminder that we can celebrate Pride the whole year round.

Safe, Revered, Supported
4/26/2019
April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, and this week, in episode 6 of #DontMentionIt, I speak with Kalimah Johnson, Founder and Executive Director of the Sasha Center in Detroit. SASHA stands for, "Sexual Assault Services for Holistic Healing and Awareness." We talk about Kalimah's path to founding the Sasha Center, holistic healing, and why creating this space for African-American women, with shared cultural experience from the Detroit area to heal together from the trauma of sexual assault is so important.
Links to support the Sasha Center are in the show notes below.
*Note: Toward the end of the interview, the audio quality suffers some issues, but I chose to leave it all in, because you can make out what Kalimah is saying, and it is all important to hear. Also, I have a very sore throat for the intro and signoff. Thank you for understanding.*
