Joy and Identity in Every Community
How affinity groups help serve individuals and unite us all
GUEST BIO:
Jose Ramos is the founder of Impulse Group, as well as the AHF’s National Director of Sales.
Queen Victoria Ortega is International president of Flux and Chief Visionary Officer at the Connie Norman Transgender Empowerment Center, as well as a volunteer with AHF.
Edwin Elan is National President of Loud, Latino Outreach and Understanding Division
Chela Demuir is Vice President of Flux, an organization that aims to raise the profile of the trans and gender-nonconforming community.
CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:
[2:07] - About Affinity Groups
An essential role and partnership
Affinity groups are groups that are specific to an individual demographic within the community served by AHF, designed to take more focused advantage of AHF’s resources. It’s about taking a group of people and determining their unique needs and how AHF can serve them and help them most effectively.
[8:27] - More than a Disease
Why sexual health and education are so vital
One of the issues relating to sexual health in communities is pathologizing, or the consideration (and ‘treatment’) of trans communities based only on a mindset of disease and sickness. But this misses the larger context when breaking down the numbers around economic health and other factors in the trans community. Affinity groups and AHF resources work together to generate economic empowerment and community health.
[10:28] - Health & Education in the Latino Community
Overcoming misconceptions and miseducation
In the community of Latinos and gay men as a whole, misconceptions and miseducation abound. It’s important that it’s well known that antivirals are very effective, and there are preventative methods available. New diagnoses can be preventable if people are educated and empowered.
[15:00] - A Narrative of Joy
Changing the perspective on black trans people
Coverage of the black trans community is often bleak, pessimistic, and focused on suffering. But Flux helped change the narrative with a photo series and program called Black Trans Joy, showing the joy, highlights, achievements, and journey of the community and proving that it’s not all trauma. It’s been a powerful tool for breaking down barriers and helping black trans people become seen and heard in their fullness of experience.

ABOUT DETROIT PODCAST STUDIOS:
In Detroit, history was made when Barry Gordy opened Motown Records back in 1960. More than just discovering great talent, Gordy built a systematic approach to launching superstars. His rigorous processes, technology, and development methods were the secret sauce behind legendary acts such as The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and Michael Jackson.
As a nod to the past, Detroit Podcast Studios leverages modern versions of Motown’s processes to launch today’s most compelling podcasts. What Motown was to musical artists, Detroit Podcast Studios is to podcast artists today.
