January 2013, David Harris and Tre’Darrius Anderson of Memphis, Tenn., tied the knot in Washington, D.C., in front of the Lincoln Memorial. This earned them the title as “The Youngest Black Gay Couple to Marry in the United States.”  Both grooms were 19 at the time of their marriage.

David and TreDarrius took the world by storm when their wedding aired on the hit MTV Show “My Teenage Wedding.”

Sadly, Tre’Darrius Anderson suddenly passed in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee on last week. TreDarrius passing came as a shock to all of those who came to know him through his vast social media following and popularity.  

Sympathy poured in locally and from around the world as many were left stunned and filled with sadness. Post after post filled the timelines on social media about his passing and expression of condolences to husband David and TreDarrius’s relatives.

EXCLUSIVE RELEASE: Torrey Harris Announces Run for State Representative, District 90

By Gwen Clemons -

MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE (November 16, 2017) —- Small Businessman and  community leader, Torrey Harris, has formally announced his candidacy for Tennessee State Representative, District 90. The seat is held currently by long-time incumbent John DeBerry, Jr.

“Now more than ever, we need progressive and strong leadership,” Harris said, “We need someone who will stand on behalf of the district they serve and voice what matters to those constituents, rather than personal beliefs and values alone. We need someone fighting for the hard working people here – that means lobbying for money for our public schools instead of giving it away, empowering our educators, supporting our parents and children, seeking affordable healthcare, promoting job opportunities, and ensuring our local businesses receive the support they need, and being bold about Human Rights for  living wages, women equality, LGBTQ equality, racial justice, and access to reproductive health. We have to do better, we can do better. That’s why I am running for U.S. District 90 State Representative.”

Harris is a proud Christian Brothers University Buccaneer and enjoys his work in the non-profit sector. He is the Human Resources & Payroll Administrator for Friends For Life Corporation, a social services organization in Midtown – Memphis, TN. Harris serves as a community leader, mentor and passionate motivator for young people in building and developing them to be the best at who they are and at what they can do. “We have to be willing to teach, train, and raise our youth for the future and be the well-mannered generation some speak poorly about,” said Harris in a response to a statement made by opponent John DeBerry earlier in the year.

He serves as a board member and a member of organizations both local and national: NAACP, Memphis Urban League, Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Black Business Association of Memphis and other community-based and national organizations. Harris has built a great career in Human Resources doing what he does best, listening to and helping people. He lives by the mantra, “Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”

Harris truly believes in giving back to our community and volunteers his time as much as possible. Over the next six months Harris plans to push not only a strong campaign and have many face to face conversations, but to also drive up voter registration. Tami Sawyer, candidate for Shelby County Commission, ran for State Representative in the previous election losing only to DeBerry just shy of 600 votes showing that District 90 was yearning for a fresh leader. Harris says during the last election voter turnout was low and he plans to hold voter rallies and registration drives throughout the city of Memphis to get people to register and update their voter registration.

It has been acknowledged time and time again that Harris is without a doubt honest and genuine, which is how he plans to run this campaign. “Get involved in what is going on in your community,” Harris ends with, “mailers shouldn’t be the only way your representative speaks to you, talk to the candidates, call and send emails and wait for a response, and make sure what matters to you will matter to them.” Over the last decade, Harris has been an outspoken voice for progressive ideas calling for discussions around what matters to those affected by conservative policies and laws. Through his experiences talking with thousands of Memphis citizens, Harris understands that his life’s work has to be on building a better Memphis for those to come behind him. Harris will be running as a progressive candidate with a desire to make Memphis better for all of us and highlight why Memphis is the best place to live.

Harris is the only candidate that has made notice to run opposing DeBerry in District 90. The district stretches from Frayser and North Memphis through a large majority of Midtown and South Memphis.

The State Primary election is May. 1, 2018.

“RECLAIMING MY TIME” READ HOW CEDRIC GUM SIMPLIFIES THE EXECUTION!

By Gwen Clemons -
0

The year is 2008. It is early spring.

Lights up on a confused, depressed, sexually free, angry, yet well-mannered and respectful little black boy from Arkansas, struggling to find his identity during his second semester of college. For 18 years, he lived uncomfortably as those around him made decisions about who he would be, how he would act, and what he’d be responsible for. What now? He’s alone. No parents or sisters as an alarm clock. No restraints or limitations on when to be in the house, how long to stay gone, who could come over, when to have calls stopped at night, or how to prioritize homework over after-school activities with friends. This independence is frightening. Business Management as a college major isn’t working out, but that’s what everyone wanted. Everyone wanted him to “major in something that will make you a lot of money.” With so much pressure to be what so many people wanted him to be and an innate desire to escape the constant nicknames of sissy and faggot, how can he ever get to a place of discovering who he is or what he truly wants from life?

Forward.

Giving speeches in front of the class is doing something to his confidence. Is that personality we see? Is he effortlessly able to grasp the attention of those listening and clearly articulate his thoughts and feelings, although public speaking has always been one of his greatest fears? “You should change your major to theatre,” said an eager and passionate communications professor (since his current major wasn’t working out). Freshman year had ended and he made the decision to take a step into the unknown. It was time to fly. It was time to soar. As much as he was willing to learn, it was time to fail and experience life and all that it was prepared to teach him.

Forward, once more.

First audition complete. Yes, this is home! There’s a natural fit and an immediate realization that it was time to take control and hone in on every repressed thought, feeling, and emotion of the past 18 years of his life. A few shows and one National Excellence in Acting Award later, it is time for graduation. He has discovered his passion and has conquered countless fears and overcome a lifetime of obstacles. This is the real test. He must now take this newfound passion, sense of self, and awareness of life and apply it to real world experience.

Pause. Hello, Baltimore.

He has an internship with Centerstage, the state theatre of Maryland and Baltimore’s largest professional producing theatre, a 16 hour drive from family, is single, and is eager to experience life as a working theatre professional. All work and no play for the first few months. But guys are starting to notice him. From the cliche “I haven’t seen you here before” to the never-ending “Can I buy you a drink?” things were off to an excellent start. There was a certain charm about Baltimore that kept a sparkle in his eye and a curiosity to explore. Countless sex partners and a year of valuable professional theater experience later, it was time to go.

Stop. Rewind.

Lights up on a confused, depressed, sexually free, angry, yet well-mannered and respectful little black boy from Arkansas, struggling to find his identity after an HIV diagnosis. This is all seemingly familiar, yet unfamiliar territory. In the blink of an eye, everything he learned and everything he knew was gone. He no longer knew what to do or how to navigate this new life. Retreating to that silent and scared little boy, he moved back to Arkansas to be with family. No one knew what he was dealing with. The internship was over. That’s all they knew. As he watched how people living with HIV were treated, he began to educate himself on everything there was to know about this… thing. Why is it so frowned upon? Why aren’t people talking about it without being hateful or demeaning? It’s public now! The world knows his secret. The secret to his pain. From talking about the struggle to get in care and stay in care to the greatness that is “HIV Treatment Works”, he found a new purpose in life.

Forward.

Baltimore, we meet again!

With this purpose came popularity. With this popularity came more struggle. Struggle to say NO. Struggle to be happy. Struggle to find what was missing from his life. Day in and day out he’s working for others who are oppressed and repressed and oftentimes forgotten about, but he’s forgetting about the most important person of them all: HIMSELF! He so desperately wants life to be better for everyone he meets, all the while neglecting to focus even the slightest attention on issues in his own life.

He is me. I am him. We are one.

The moment has come for me to reclaim my time. While I get extreme satisfaction from helping and supporting those around me, I have reached a place where I am strong and secure enough to know that I can’t continue to pour into other people without taking time to recharge and truly refill the cup that I’m constantly pouring from. My passion is performing. My purpose is helping. My mission will be to combine the two.

Forward.

Audition complete. I got the part. I’m back home. Let’s work!

Lena Waithe Emmy is a bigger win for Black Lesbians!

By Gwen Clemons -

“Probably the most serious deterrent to black lesbian activism is the closet itself. It is very difficult and sometimes impossible to organize around Black lesbian issues, such as homophobic violence, child custody, and right-wing initiatives, when you do not want people to know who you are.” Barbara Smith, (1998). The Truth That Never Hurts: Writing on Race, Gender, and Freedom http://www.zunainstitute.org/

“Master of None’s” Lena Waithe made history at the 69th Emmy Awards on Sunday, becoming the first black gay woman ever to win a comedy series in the category of writing.

Waithe, plays Denise in the Netflix series, “Thanksgiving” an episode she co-wrote with  Aziz Ansari of “Master of None”.  Her nomination also marked the first time a black woman was nominated for an Emmy in comedy writing.

The Netflix series “Thanksgiving” episodes follow the character Denise as she discovers her sexuality and comes out to her friends and family over the course of five Thanksgivings spanning 22 years.

“My LGBQTIA family, I see each and every one of you,” she said from the stage. “The things that make us different, those are our superpowers. Every day, when you walk out the door, put on your imaginary cape and go out there and conquer the world, because the world would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren’t in it.”

“Thanksgiving” episodes add a missing and necessary piece to current literature examining Black lesbian lives. The award signifies the important opportunity to create a visible space to tell the stories. This win represents the importance for lesbians to be visible and in control of their daily lives.

Last year, the film “Moonlight” subverted ideas of black masculinity in its story of a young, gay black boy growing up in Florida. Waithe offers a female perspective on what it means to be black and gay.  http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-en-st-0810-lena-waithe-master-of-none-20170809-story.html

“Thanksgiving” illustrate the important lived experiences of black lesbians and the need to rise above invisibility on all levels.  The intersectionality of our lives must create room for the angle of our visibility to be shaped above the daily homophobia we face.

“As Much As I Can,” An Immersive Theater Is Coming to Baltimore, MD!

By Gwen Clemons -
0

Back by popular demand, “As Much As I Can,”  an immersive theater experience will be in Baltimore September 7 – 14. This experience is designed to elevate the voices of Black gay men and encourage a transformative shift in attitudes, beliefs, and understanding of their lived experiences. The stories told as part of this experience, along with the realities they reveal, reinforce the importance of listening to those most affected by HIV and supporting innovative community programs to address what The New York Times Magazine calls “a public health failure.”

Be sure to reserve your free ticket by visiting www.acceleratetickets.com.

“A Much AS I Can” is a key component of ACCELERATE which is aligned with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States, ACCELERATE! is ViiV Healthcare’s four-year, $10 million commitment to support innovative projects that focus on improving HIV outcomes for Black gay men in two cities hardest hit by HIV — Baltimore, Maryland, and Jackson, Mississippi.

At ViiV Healthcare, we develop and support sustainable community programs — with and for the HIV community — focused on education, treatment and prevention and access to care. Guided by this commitment and the persistent, disproportionate impact of HIV on Black Americans, especially gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM), we launched the ACCELERATE! Initiative on National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) in 2015.

Our Approach

ACCELERATE! is guided by three key strategies to increase access to and retention in high-quality HIV prevention, care and treatment for Black gay men:

  • Listen to men’s experiences and prioritize their perspectives to drive impact.
  • Activate key community and research insights through collaborations and funding for new efforts that inspire and support men to seek and maintain quality healthcare.
  • Amplify those insights and ongoing lessons from ACCELERATE! to inform current paradigms and practices and improve the delivery of HIV prevention, care and treatment.

Our Ethnographic Research: Meet Me Where I Want to Be

To kick off the Initiative, ViiV Healthcare commissioned an ethnographic research study beginning with a comprehensive environment assessment to familiarize the research team with daily life in Baltimore and Jackson. The assessment also helped to establish an understanding about the contexts in which Black gay men operate at home, in the clinic and out in the world.

The research team interviewed 30 men, both HIV-negative and HIV-positive, in addition to their friends, family members and other influencers. Interviewers spent one to two days with each man. The study team also interviewed civic leaders, providers and others involved in the HIV care environment in these two cities and conducted an extensive review of media, images and messages that shape the broader cultural conversation around HIV/AIDS.

The research took a holistic view of men’s lives exploring characteristics of the HIV epidemic among Black gay and bisexual men in Baltimore and Jackson. Coupled with insights from the local communities, this research identified opportunities to put this research into action:

  • Boost empowerment and strengthen networks to break down isolation and stigma; connect men to networks of support; and expand delivery of HIV prevention, treatment and care.
  • Make sexual education relevant with enhanced content for adults that reflects today’s context and can be delivered in person and online.
  • Make testing a bridge to prevention, care and treatment by piloting a revised protocol for men who test negative for HIV to better link them to healthcare, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and other community support services and networks.
  • Strengthen navigation services that help guide men through complex systems and make it easier to enter and get back into care.
