Last Thursday, I attended a panel discussion hosted by In The Meantime, a non-profit organization dedicated to the health and well-being of Black, gay men in Los Angeles.
It was amazing to share the space with such insightful men, young and old, as they shared perspectives around the issues they are facing as well as the holistic practices they use on their journey of self-healing.
In The Meantime provided food and also gifted two scholarships to young men in the LGTBQ community who are attending local community colleges.
