You know, when 123 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: my team came to me, they're like, are you sure 124 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: you want to do like? And I'm like yes. Like 125 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: in my household, I grew up where my mom like 126 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: we talked about this stuff. She made us get tested. 127 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: We knew what being tested meant.

I was 130 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: doing that since like eighth grade, just because she wanted 131 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: to make it not taboo. And I didn't know that 132 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: that was not normal to other people until I got older. 133 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: So what Sierra is doing is pairing music and culture 134 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: and her influence with telling people, hey, especially black women, y'all. Look, 135 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: I learned in this conversation that of new HIV cases, 136 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: fifty percent. 137 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: Of them are black women. 138 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: And out of that fifty percent, there is you know, 139 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: only two percent that are doing preventative things like utilizing 140 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: an immune boosting drug like a prep or you know, 141 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: just even being tested properly. Having conversations with your partners 142 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: like this conversation is why I think pop culture and. 143 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 3: The movement of it is so important. So please take 144 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: a listen. 145 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 5: Most brilliant idea it was to say we're going to 146 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 5: take one two steps and say one two breath. 147 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 6: I'm just saying they might need a little right, because 148 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 6: it's so. 149 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 5: Very great idea, and it made it fun.

Now we're going to talk about some good stuff. 152 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 5: But this is the power of music. You know, music 153 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 5: has the ability to connect us all, you know, beyond 154 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 5: the color of our skin, our ethnicities, social economic backgrounds, 155 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 5: different languages. Like music defies all barriers and it really 156 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 5: is a I mean, I feel so blessed this is 157 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 5: my day, my daytime, just's my job I do every day. 158 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 7: Well, what do you think about Sarah's music mak feature. 159 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's genius.

If I don't have my health right, 327 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 5: then I can't be great in all those areas, right, 328 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 5: so you know, making it a cool thing? 329 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I love that it just makes it more relatable, right, right, 330 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 10: and that's what we want to get more people into 331 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 10: the conversations, right, Yeah, learn any thoughts around that. 332 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: And I just was thinking about all the conversations we 333 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: were having just before we came up here, and just 334 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: everything I didn't know, Like, and I'm I'm not like young, 335 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: like I'm older, I'm in the world, I'm around, I'm 336 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: learning things. I'm you know, I think I'm a little educated, 337 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: but like it doesn't none of that matters because like 338 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: literally today there were things that I was fucking and 339 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't know that, and it was 340 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: like kind of scary.

Right, So, I think that's very 425 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 5: encouraging for those that need to hear that as well. 426 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 8: Curious what you think the next kind of year looks 427 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 8: like as we have introduced culture of music into this conversation. 428 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 7: I'm both thanks for the question. 429 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean, definitely it's going to take longer than the year, 430 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: but just within this like upcoming time and the time 431 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: that we're in right now, I mean, I think the 432 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: biggest thing in you to do is provide information for 433 00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: people because like, okay, whatever I heard, even healthcomversations right 434 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: about who doesn't go get checked out? I've always heard 435 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: the conversation men, men, men go get this. Like That's 436 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: literally been the conversation and the stigma that I've heard. 437 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: And today when I was talking and he was telling 438 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: me about you know that fifty percent and then then two, 439 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: I was like, wait, I thought, you know, women, we 440 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: were doing. 441 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 7: Good and I want everybody to do well. 442 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: But like it just blew my mind that I'm hearing 443 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: the conversation one way all the time everywhere when nothing 444 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: like it's these numbers are are so different or here 445 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: on this side right. So I think that is a 446 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: big part of it, is just putting correct information out there. 447 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 7: And I think for everybody is anybody in here media. 448 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, so anybody that's media, even if you I mean 449 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: you want X, you want threads, you know, TikTok, whatever 450 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: you're doing, even if you're not working for a platform. 451 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 7: I think that that's like the where we are right now, 452 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 7: that's the way. 453 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: Then, that's where we say is people want things that 454 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: are factual, and they want to under seeing things. They 455 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: want clarity, And I think if you have a platform, 456 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: that is the best thing that you could do for 457 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: people because there's so much of the noise out there, 458 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: and do it around things like this, like me being 459 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: here today.

I don't know everything I want 465 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: to know. More So I think to answer your question. 466 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: I hope that I'm answering it. It's just putting out 467 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: information that is factual. I also think too, we share 468 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: a lot in this era. 469 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 7: Right now when what was her name again?

Right, stop sharing your story 480 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 7: and I know certain things at first, I'm not telling 481 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 7: everybody even on Lune just whatever. 482 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: But if you are okay with that, I think that 483 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: that's a part of it as well too, Like people 484 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: don't know because they just don't know, or because they 485 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: don't know someone that's talking about it, like me, getting 486 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: to go and watch her talk about her life and 487 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: her journey. God Rest her soul changed my whole world 488 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: of how I think about everything when it comes to 489 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: people who live HIV positive and the fact that you 490 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: can live a life, right, But I would have known 491 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: that if she wasn't sharing her story. So I think 492 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: putting factual information out there, statistics, you know, platforming people 493 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: who really know what they're talking about, and then you know, 494 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,239 Speaker 1: sharing your journeys and your stories, and that could even 495 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: be as simple as like talking about being here today 496 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: and what you learn, Like you don't got to put 497 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: all your business out there, but like just being literally 498 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: being like, yo, all went to this panel today and 499 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: here's everything I learned, and then somebody's going to watch 500 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: that and be like, oh wait, okay, So you know, 501 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: I think that that's a big part of it. 502 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 7: Like we've got it. This week is on us now, 503 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 7: we've just got to do it. 504 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 11: Thank you for this in cardinal conversation, A very important conversation. 505 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 12: In a time like now when so many people don't 506 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 12: know about prep and access to this type of prepetitive care. 507 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 12: But also at the same time, we have legislation being 508 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 12: passed to actually now this month, twenty states or more 509 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 12: are now scaling back their access to HIV care, which 510 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 12: will ultimately also impact people on a global scale. 511 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 7: So how do we use a pop culture and also. 512 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 11: Health professionals to combat this scaling back of these things, 513 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 11: the rollouts of these policies, while also getting people more 514 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 11: informed that the these medications do exist. 515 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 5: But now there's a hurdle to get there. You just 516 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 5: can't stop on the message, right. 517 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 7: We can't stop right. 518 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 5: It's they can try to, you know, put all these 519 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 5: things in place, but I think we have to go 520 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 5: harder on getting the message out right. And that's why 521 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 5: I'm really pumped again to use my platform. 522 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 6: We have to go hard here. And I think it's 523 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 6: also about doctor where. 524 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 5: I'm going to toss it to you, but I think 525 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 5: it's also about people just simply knowing where you can 526 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 5: go and it might have to be a little drive, 527 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 5: but you know, to get to the place if they're 528 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 5: starting to shut down certain locations that are making it complicated. 529 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 6: But I'm going to toss it to you on that piece. 530 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll add to that. 531 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 8: I think this is one of those times where we 532 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 8: we have to really double down on advocacy, honestly, and 533 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 8: I think having conversations like this and having platforms that 534 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 8: is yours, where you talk about these issues that you 535 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 8: just mentioned of those twenty three states pulling back like 536 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 8: we essentially have to make noise. 537 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 7: We have to make. 538 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 8: Ourselves big enough to be seen and be heard and 539 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 8: for that impact to be built at that level. 540 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 7: And so I think that's why I really love your answer, Lauren, around. 541 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 8: You know, using your platform in order to share about 542 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 8: this and in the same way, using your platform to 543 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 8: share about how access is being limited during this time, 544 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 8: I think is key because otherwise there are a lot 545 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 8: of people. 546 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 7: Who won't know about it. 547 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 8: And what I find is a lot of HIV messages 548 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 8: just aren't permeating well, like they're not making it to people. 549 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 8: And a big part of that is like kind of 550 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 8: the limited reach of the platform of the health department 551 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 8: or the limited reach of you know, certain platforms. So 552 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 8: it's like when there is responsible use of a platform 553 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 8: that's bigger than ours than it allows for those messages 554 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 8: to really reach people who need them the most. 555 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 5: Look, Lauren, we got this baby got well, we can 556 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 5: have voices just here being you. 557 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 7: Know, to answer your questions too. 558 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: That's why I think platforms like Club like, we have 559 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: a lot of fun there, but every day I just 560 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: I like watch some of the conversations that we have 561 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's so powerful certain platforms that like 562 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: you're on.
