We Need That - We Need That Community with Jamal Perry (Episode 4)

The Black Gay Agenda is back with another off-season installment of We Need That — our limited series created to keep the conversations flowing between seasons.

In this episode, We Need That Community, Micah B and Alex are joined by Jamal Perry for a thoughtful, funny, and deeply affirming conversation about community building, wellness, and connection in the Midwest. From growing up in Gary, Indiana to putting down roots in Milwaukee, Jamal opens up about how travel, relationships, and intentional connection have shaped the way he moves through the world.

The conversation dives into Jamal’s work in public health, his role in HIV prevention and education, and the importance of dismantling stigma around sexual health in Black queer communities. They talk candidly about dating, testing, language like “clean” versus “dirty,” and why misinformation continues to harm people who deserve care, clarity, and compassion.

Jamal also introduces listeners to Midwest Meetup, his growing grassroots initiative designed to bridge cities, cross state lines, and create intentional spaces for Black and Brown LGBTQIA+ folks to connect, heal, and build community. From wellness retreats to social gatherings, Jamal shares his vision for a Midwest where queer people don’t have to feel isolated or disconnected — no matter the city.

This episode is warm, honest, reflective, and full of gems — a reminder that community doesn’t just happen. It’s built with intention, love, and people willing to show up.
