I didn't know what it would feel like to be surrounded by 2600+ people who accepted you for who you are, celebrate you no matter if you rode every mile or not, and treated you like you belonged at every breakfast, lunch, and dinner table. I mean I had dreamed of a place like this but never experienced it before until I decided to put it all out on the line and attempt to ride 545 miles over 7 days. It was the illusive experience I had been searching for - like that rainbow
Dawn Averitt was diagnosed with HIV in 1988 at age 19 and has since become one of the nation's most prominent HIV and AIDS advocates as well as an accomplished speaker and published writer on women's health issues. As the founder of the Women's Research Initiative on HIV/AIDS (WRI), Dawn has been instrumental in shifting the research paradigm to include more women and people of color. Ms. Averitt is the founder of The Well Project, a non-profit organization formed in 2002 to improve the lives of women living with HIV and AIDS and change the course of the AIDS pandemic through a comprehensive focus on treatment and prevention for women. She joins Dr. M to kick off HIV and AIDS Awareness Month, to share how she transformed herself from fearing the worst when she first learned of her HIV status, to becoming the fierce advocate for others that she is today.

Explore Bias, Smash Patriarchy, Dig Devo! Content Warning: Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Language (The Leftscape... Now with Even More Cursing!) What are the tapes that run in your head? Which beliefs and thought patterns are hidden in your psyche that show up and catch you unaware? What is the assumption behind what you are drawn to and what you avoid? Which preferences are you comfortable with? Which are prejudices that you work to release? Sparked by the main topic in "When Things Blow Up (Episode 15)," Robin Renée, Mary McGinley, and Wendy Sheridan reflect on some of their own personal biases regarding gender, intelligence, race, ethnicity, and culture. The week's news, still dominated by the Kavanaugh nomination and its fallout, includes the protests at Yale by those who oppose the nomination, and the power and personal impact of #whyididntreport. The conversation morphs into a righteous rant on sexual harassment in the workplace and anywhere/everywhere else. Wendy is mad as hell, and for good reason. The show begins by welcoming October with mentions of only a sampling of the month's observances: Self-Promotion Month, Vegetarian Month, Squirrel Awareness Month, Bat Appreciation Month, World Menopause Month, Feral Hog Month, and Sarcasm Month are a few. October 3rd is the date in 1952 that the UK tested its first atomic bomb. On the same date in 1995, O.J. Simpson was acquitted. The first Wednesday in October is also National Kale Day.

Kristina Schmidgall is Director of Care Services at UNIFIED - HIV Health and Beyond. Different governments and organizations have declared different months as AIDS Awareness Month including October. We Can Stop HIV, lift the stigma and educate our communities on the truth about living with HIV and AIDS One Conversation at a Time. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in the United States alone 1.1 million people are living with HIV and 1 in 7 of them don’t know it. For those infected with HIV, treatment works. The outlook for people living with HIV has significantly improved over the past two decades. Many people who are HIV-positive can now live longer, healthier lives when they’re in routine care. In 1996, the total life expectancy for an infected 20-year-old person was 39 years. In 2011, the total life expectancy bumped up to about 70 years. Someone who is HIV-positive, receiving treatment, and in optimal health may live to be in their late 70s. Kristina entered this field as a volunteer at Lansing Area AIDS Network in 2000. She was employed at AIDS Partnership Michigan from 2006 to 2013. In 2014, she joined the staff at the Detroit Health Department as a Quality Management Specialist with the Ryan White HIV Program. In 2016, she returned to UNIFIED- HIV Health and Beyond as the Director of Care Services, managing eight care programs.
