Health Action Alliance's Mario Harper, World Aids Day 2025, Wicked: For Good?

For World Aids Day 2025, Yo Aunteas sit with Mario Harper, Director at Health Action Alliance and leader of the U.S. Business Action to End HIV, to discuss a topic too often shrouded in shame: HIV in the Black Community.

Mario shares his deeply personal journey, from overcoming family stigma surrounding his uncle's death to leading national efforts to secure critical funding for grassroots HIV services. This episode is about courage, visibility, and reclaiming our narrative.

We break down:

How the HIV funding crisis directly impacts Black and Latinx lives.
The power of confronting family and church stigma.
Why queer people of color are embracing words like "sissy" to embody their whole truth.

This is a powerful, educational, and necessary episode. Don't just listen—share this with your entire Communitea!

Of course, we end with Curiositea!
