Join us for a conversation with Louie Ortiz-Fonseca & Lincoln Mondy of Advocates for Youth and Juancarlos Soto of Planned Parenthood of Southern New England & the New Haven LGBTQ Youth Task Force around reaching LGBTQ youth to address public health issues, tackle HIV/AIDs stigma, and advance LGBTQ rights.

Louie & Lincoln are the creators of the web series Kikis with Louie, a YouTube series featuring honest, deep conversations about the most challenging issues facing queer youth: relationships, sexuality, health, culture, and more. They are activists and award-winning campaign creators. Juancarlos is a local activist and artist, represents PPSNE in the New Haven LGBTQ Task Force, runs the Black & Brown Queer Camp in Connecticut, and is one of the 2019 recipients of the Dorothy Award for LGBTQ activists.
