Gilead Chicago: LIVE Every Story is a God StoryThis week’s sermon is a little different, because in it, Rebecca addresses the heartbreaking decision to end Gilead. I attended service in person for this sermon, and I gotta say, I’m glad I was there. But for those of you who weren’t, or for those of you who would just like to listen again, here it is. After a vote by the congregation to close the church during the service this past Sunday, Gilead will officially be ending. And as hard and as sad as it was to come to this decision, we’re trying no...

Zero Hour Ep. 201 “Women Takeover: HIV in Black Women in the US”In this episode of ZERO HOUR—filmed in front of a live studio audience at the 2023 U.S. Conference for HIV and AIDS—four Black women take over the discussion table to take back their own narratives and to define their own roles in ending the HIV epidemic. Because to truly understand the impact that discrimination, inequity, and stigma have on Black women, we need to hear from Black women themselves. Our takeover hosts are: Staci Bush, Senior Director of US Medical Affairs for Gilead’s HIV Franchise...

Zero Hour Ep. 10 ”Systems of Care”Health inequities don’t just happen. They’re made by the broken parts of broken systems. And when those systems are left unfixed, the divide between the people with the most need and the people with the most resources grows even wider. In this episode, we’re joined by two guests who are championing system reform and person-centered care to overcome inequalities in the global response to HIV. Our guests are: Professor Kevin Fenton, the London Regional Director at the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and President of the United Kingdom Faculty of Public Health...

Zero Hour Ep. 9 “Empowering the Young Leaders of the Future”Sure, children are the future, but why shouldn’t they have a hand in the present? Today’s episode of Zero Hour introduces us to two HIV advocates—one an HBCU professional and the other a person born with HIV—who are centering education for youth and adolescents in their missions to end the epidemic. Our guests are: Leslie Hall, director of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Program at the Human Rights Campaign. He shares his intersectional experiences as a Black queer man and discusses the significance of bringing HIV prevention and education to HBCUs.

Zero Hour Ep. 8 ”Finding Home: Migrants and Displaced People”Leaving home is never easy—especially when discrimination, xenophobia, and cultural barriers await you in your new destination. In this episode, Zero Hour™ speaks with two leaders who are working to not only ease the transition for migrants and displaced people, but to also connect them with vital HIV services and resources. Our guests are: Denis Onyango, a grassroots activist who organizes HIV testing, prevention, and peer support services through his role as Programs Director for the Africa Advocacy Foundation. He reflects on how losing his brother and three sisters to AIDS spurred his focus on H...

Zero Hour Ep. 7 ”Unequal: Protecting Women’s Healthcare”When it comes to HIV, women are forced to contend with more than just stigma and barriers to care. Factors like gender inequality, intimate partner violence, and bodily autonomy make everything from prevention and treatment to status disclosure more difficult and more dangerous. In this episode, we’re exploring common obstacles women encounter in the fight against HIV, as well as the global efforts to improve women’s visibility and protection. Our guests are: Dr. Rageshri Dhairyawan, a sexual health and HIV doctor currently serving as Consultant in Sexual Health and HIV Medicine at Barts Heal...

Zero Hour Ep. 6 ”Let’s Talk About Sex”You do it. Your parents did it. Even the Puritans did it…so why are we so puritanical when it comes to talking about sex? In this episode, we’re bringing it all out of the bedroom and discussing how openly talking about sex is a necessary first step to talking about HIV. Sex positivity, health exploration, eliminating stigmas and taboos—they all start here, with the birds and the bees. Our guests are: Nathan Hale Williams, an actor, film and television producer, and entertainment producer known for writing and co-directing the film 90 Days, as well as...

Zero Hour Ep. 5 ”Is It a Crime?”No one wants to be surveilled. It’s the reason we put tape over our webcams and diligently monitor privacy settings on our phones. Being watched makes you feel like you’re already guilty, and someone is just waiting for you to slip up. For people living with HIV, being monitored—and being treated like criminals—isn’t some speculative, dystopian fear. It’s a constant reality. And as we’ll explore in this episode, it’s a reality that could see innocent people serving lifetime sentences simply for engaging in consensual sex. Our guests are: Alexander McCl...

Zero Hour Ep. 4 ”No Shame No Blame”There’s a common thread that ties together justice, stigma, secrets, and truth: language. The words we use can liberate and unite as easily as they can mislead and isolate. On this episode of Zero Hour™, we’re diving into the ways that language barriers can keep Latinx people from seeking and receiving HIV care. We’re also exploring how discriminatory language and false conflations (such as equating HIV with AIDS) continue to fuel fear and stigma. Our guests are: José Romero, a non-binary Latinx activist currently serving as the Director of Community Advocacy, Education & Research at...

Zero Hour Ep. 3 ”Power of Influence”Could ending the HIV epidemic start with making HIV go…viral? Zero Hour™ speaks with two social influencers and television personalities who are using their platforms for more than clicks and follows. They’re using their voices to dismantle stigma in Hollywood and beyond to create a culture of accountability and honesty.  Our guests are:  Greg Mathis, Jr., a television personality and activist who, as the son of a famous television judge, has spent most of his life in the public eye. He shares the factors that influenced his decision to come out on his family’s rea...

Zero Hour Ep. 2 ”Listen To Me”Is this thing on? Firsthand testimony makes for some of the most powerful and impactful stories, but people living with HIV are too often left out of conversations about the epidemic. Stepping up to the mic are  2  special guests who are using their lived experiences to teach compassion, dismantle taboos, and normalize  HIV with  openness and vulnerability. Our guests are: George M. Johnson, an activist and award-winning writer whose young-adult memoir, All Boys Aren’t Blue, intimately portrays the intersection of Blackness and queerness. They tell us about living with HIV as a Black queer person, the proces...

Zero Hour Ep. 1 ”Confronting Bias”What does having HIV mean if you are pregnant? If you were an influencer living with HIV, would you share your diagnosis with your audience? This episode explores the ways external stigma and biases can permeate the lives of people living with HIV. We’ll also confront the decision to share your HIV diagnosis —and the consequences that decision might bring, both good and bad. Our guests are: Angelina Namiba, the Kenyan-born founder of 4M Network, a UK-based group providing peer mentoring and support to mothers living with HIV.
