  • "HIV > COVID" w/ Muluba Habanyama

    While the world reels from an "unprecedented global pandemic", for Muluba Habanyama and many others living with HIV, this isn't our first rodeo.  

    Born with HIV herself, Muluba has become an activist and journalist whose work centres around busting stigma using a wealth of personal strength, experience and resilience.

    In this episode, I ask Muluba how she's doing and ask her to tell her famous HIV "coming out story" one more time.

    Listen to her podcast, The Muluba Show!

  • "Abortion Dream Team" w/ Karolina Więckiewicz
    As many governments around the world lean extreme-right, Poland is tightening restrictions on an already extremely limited state-controlled abortion criteria. Now, more than 97% of Polish citizens are forced to look elsewhere to safely terminate unwanted pregnancies. Karolina Więckiewicz - member of the "Abortion Dream Team" in Warsaw - talks about how she and her team are raising awareness and working to counter the eroding access to abortions in Poland.

  • "COVID by Example" w/ Keith McCrady

    As the Executive Director of 2-Spirited People of of the 1st Nations, Torontonian Keith McCrady has had to be nimble and creative in keeping his Indigenous community members healthy and connected. Several times a week, he provides food, PPE and harm reduction supplies to a growing list of people in Toronto and - if possible - beyond.

    When I ask how he sustains this momentum, he reminds me that he's just doing what he can. He's living by example.
