Spoke on PhRMA’s 2025 PRIDE panel with Evan Low & Tekla Taylor—grateful for the convo and the community.
I said: Policy is the tool. Advocacy is the pressure. Allyship is the commitment.
It’s not enough to care quietly—we have to show up, speak up, and push back.

As a former brand marketer, all I can say is the leadership at WarnerMedia are idiots. But glad they realized that their most valuable brand asset really was their most valuable brand asset. Nice to see you again, Home Box Office.

It’s time to clean house. If you’re over 65, it’s time to retire from congress. If you’re too scared to lead in this moment, then sit the fuck down. Chuck, go write your books and get out of congress, you’re done. Bernie, go rally troops and retire, you’re useless in the senate.

Leaked HHS budget proposes gutting HIV prevention, mental health care, and public health infrastructure. A 33% slash that puts lives—and decades of progress—at risk.

This is what happens when you replace evidence with ideology in public health:
People die. Predictably.
And this is just the beginning.
$11.4B clawed back. 20,000 laid off. Vaccine outreach halted.

Prevention saves money. Treatment saves lives. Cutting CDC’s HIV programs would lead to new HIV cases, shorter lives, and billions in avoidable costs. This isn’t fiscal responsibility—it’s a crisis. Speak up! #HIVPreventionSaveLives #SaveHIVFunding #NoCutsToHIVCare

Today is National Women and Girls HIV Awareness Day—a reminder that HIV is not a “gay disease.” It affects women across all communities, with systemic barriers driving disparities in prevention, testing, and care.

Today is International Women’s Day, and I’m so proud to say I was raised by a strong woman who puts love first and stands up for the good of EVERYONE, even when it’s costly and unpopular. I’ve always been surrounded by badass women that have pushed me to be a better human.
