May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. How are you celebrating our AAPI neighbors, family members, colleagues and community members this month (and all year)? Three recommendations: 1. Check out the work of the The Asian Community Fund at the Boston Foundation and follow my colleague, Danielle Kim. 2. Read the current issue of Boston Spirit Magazine and specifically the article on community funds in support of the LGBTQ community, including a new fund launched in the Merrimack Value thanks to Julie Chen & Susu Wong. 3. Finally, read this piece that came out last year that centers LGBTQ mental health and the AAPI experience.

Today, we honor and celebrate the legalization of gay marriage in The United States. While we have made much progress, we still have miles to go. For more than half of the state’s LGBTQ community, food on the table isn’t always a given. Hunger is not a temporary emergency—it’s an ongoing crisis in Massachusetts. According to our fourth annual statewide report, focusing investments on food pantries that serve LGBTQ communities could improve food equity and access. Read the report to learn more about the state of hunger in the Commonwealth: https://lnkd.in/edqd_Gks #FeedingEasternMA#EndHungerHere#FoodInsecurity

Delighted to publish this new resource today from our latest No Barriers Here study. It doesn’t have all the answers, nor does it collectively represent all LGBTQ people, but it does invite us to consider and reflect on the care that we provide or commission. This way we can move in the right direction towards making positive change to equitable #palliativecare. #research #peolc #LGBTQ #equity https://lnkd.in/ezMhm3Cy
“The sense of uncertainty and vulnerability that this position can bring might even stop us from seeking medical help at all.” Do you work at individual, organisational or leadership level? Do you provide care or commission services? Do you want to provide safer, more equitable #PalliativeCare? Take a look at our new co-produced resource, published today. ‘It’s more than rainbows in receptions’ - Working with LGBTQ People in Palliative and End-of-Life Care.

Advocate for LGBT Awareness and Wellbeing | Second Year Student Paramedic | Civilian Instructor: RAFAC I Author and founder of The Trans* Truth
A large focus on trans* healthcare centres itself around the medical transition process. This is important, but why do we neglect to mention acute and chronic condition management? Approximately 70% of trans* individuals have faced discrimination from their primary care GP, 14% have been refused treatment as a result of their gender reassignment status. We need to ensure all healthcare is trans* inclusive, from maternity to emergency to end of life. I could post countless stories of my own experience on both sides of the coin, as a student paramedic and a patient. The healthcare disparities that trans* people face call for a huge cultural shift within the NHS. It requires both individual clinicians and wider networks to actively seek education and understanding of the trans* experience in the context of the healthcare setting.

T2B Communicator Community Founder. PRSA-SF President. ASGCT Comms Committee Chair. Fierce Pharma PR Rising Stars Advisor.
This was one of the biggest ah-ha moments I've had coming out of a Comm Convo. Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I often have big ideas and then dig in to work really hard and make it happen. No humble-bragging; my point is the opposite. A weakness with my M.O. is that it's easy to get tunnel vision and not appreciate signs of progress and small wins, because I'm always working toward something else. I think this is why change -- when it comes to more important issues like achieving true equity in [fill in the blank with any industry name here] -- seem elusive. Yes, while it's inarguably important to not lose sight of those master goals, we can do our part to create safe spaces for those in our own communities. Especially in our role as communicators in an industry with human health at its center, we are super well-positioned to lead by example. And the ah-ha moment for me specifically was that seemingly small gestures can have real, meaningful impact, and that shouldn't be taken for granted or worse, sacrificed because we're too busy trying to convince other people to do the right thing.
“The people who need the help or the comfort will know that you're safe.” We heard last week from LGBTQ advocate and educator Lex Clay, M.S. in our Comm Convo on embracing diversity and allyship that it doesn’t always take a lot to create safe spaces. In those moments when big, sweeping change seems slow and hard, we can still do our part, and we can still make an impact.
