Embracing the Beauty of Being Gay, Black, and HIV Positive – Jordan J. Edwards

Embracing the Beauty of Being Gay, Black, and HIV Positive – Jordan J. Edwards

HIV may be a lifelong journey, but it is not a death sentence. Yet, for Black gay men, that journey often comes with unique challenges—stigma, erasure, and systemic barriers that make living openly and authentically even harder.

As we close out Black History Month, we sit down with Jordan J. Edwards - Deputy Director for the Normal Anomaly Initiative, whose candid and unfiltered approach will challenge you to see beyond limitations and embrace the power of your own visibility.

In this episode, you’ll:
  • Uncover the difference between representation and representing yourself—a game-changing distinction
  • Learn why visibility is crucial in the fight for queer and Black liberation—and how you can take action
  • Discover ways to ensure your story and existence aren’t erased by society

This is a conversation about truth, resilience, and reclaiming space. About Jordan Jordan J Edwards (He/Him/His) is a Deputy Director for the Normal Anomaly Initiative. Through his passion and lived experience as a person living with HIV, Jordan serves the Black, Queer plus community by developing curriculum, increasing opportunities for transportation, and linkage to care services for those living with HIV and those interested in PrEP. Jordan became a 2024 White House Rising Leader and a Greater Than HIV Ambassador through his development in the HIV sector.
