Register NOW: https://mcmaster.zoom.us/meeting/register/b8wqxKyyTxa8GEiGWvAgPA for Thursday's powerful conversation with Indigenous change-makers about responding to HIV in the Prairies!

We invite you to join us for the next Feast Centre Conversation on August 13th with a start time of 2:00pm (Eastern Daylight Time) and finishing at 3:30pm. This upcoming webinar will feature a virtual screening of Lenard Monkman's recent documentary titled The Zoongidewin Project: Destigmatizing HIV in Indigenous Communities and will also feature the ever-important voices of community members with living experience of HIV who were featured in this documentary. In the panel portion of this webinar, you will get to hear from award winning Indigenous journalist, Lenard Monkman, AND the community member panelists speak to the experience and the importance of this documentary and why we need to mobilize on HIV and STBBIs in our communities.

This Conversation webinar is being introduced as PART I of an important conversation we should be having about HIV, given the recent public health emergency that was declared in Manitoba. To help nuance this conversation in a good way, we have invited Elder Albert McLeod to facilitate this conversation. It is important that all the voices are from the Prairies and most importantly it is always a good thing to privilege the community voices in this work we do, their insights are always vitally important and spot on!
Please JOIN US.
