Slaying Stigma: HIV Activism with Myles Sexton


Listen Later

The boys have the honour of sitting down with Myles Sexton, a multi-talented Creative Director, Stylist, and Makeup Artist, known for their remarkable work as an HIV/AIDS Activist. Myles recounts the pivotal moment when they first learned about their HIV diagnosis. The initial shock and fear they experienced serve as a powerful backdrop for their subsequent journey of empowerment and activism, as they challenge the stigma surrounding sexual health and open up important conversations around mental health and harm reduction. Myles shares some sobering stats surrounding HIV - Did you know that Women are disproportionately affected by HIV compared to men, with young women most at risk? Join the gang for a conversation that delves into the depth of Myles Sexton's activism, identity, and empowerment. As they continue to make waves in the world of fashion and advocacy, their journey serves as a powerful reminder that embracing one's true self can lead to transformative change.
