It feels like just as we’ve started to get a grip on COVID-19, a new highly-contagious disease has emerged: monkeypox.

We’re sitting down with people in the community to learn more about what their concerns are and what they’re doing to keep themselves safe. There’s a lot of misinformation and stigma around this virus, so to get answers to your questions, we’re joined by experts in LGBTQ+ health and infectious disease. 

But first, we’re talking all things Titans with the editor of the All Titans Fan Network page.

Guests: 

  • David Boclair, editor of the All Titans Fan Network page
  • Brenda Waybrant, co-founder ROC Music City
  • Desirèe Arista, VP of Health Equity and Inclusion for Revive
  • Tonita Rincones, Belmont student and publicist for the Belmont Bridge Builders
  • Del Ray Zimmerman, director of the Office for Diversity Affairs and LGBTQ Health at Vanderbilt University Medical Center
  • Dr. Sean Kelly, expert on infectious disease and doctor at the Vanderbilt Comprehensive Care Clinic
