Street Works and First Baptist Capitol Hill ‘COVID-19, Condoms & Conversation’

By: Emma Vondra

Street Works, a free, confidential HIV testing and supportive services to persons living with HIV/AIDS in the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area, teamed up with First Baptist Capitol Hill in February of this year to launch the beginning of their conversation series. This first event was titled ‘COVID-19, Condoms & Conversation.’ 

The conversation panel featured industry leaders Dr. Beverly Brown, Minority AIDS Outreach and Dr. Phillis Isabella Sheppard, Vanderbilt Divinity School. Throughout this virtual community event, individuals were able to touch on the impact of COVID-19 on individuals and families impacted by HIV/AIDS and the disproportionate toll on communities of color in Tennessee and throughout the U.S. 

It is through community-based events like these that Street Works is able to make such a definitive impact on the Tennessee community. Touching on topics that need to be spoken about isn’t an easy feat, but it is how change is accomplished.
