Plus’s first issue of 2022 focuses on HIV in the African-American community, and we’re not just looking at the problems and concerns, but also the joys and victories — and Trinity K.
Bonet of Drag Race All Stars is the perfect person to epitomize that. Our cover star has found her voice as an advocate for not only people living with HIV, but Black people suffering under systemic oppression and police violence.
Another community leader is Toni Newman, the new interim director of the Black AIDS Institute and one of the very few Black trans women running a national nonprofit.
Newman speaks to Plus editor in chief Desirée Guerrero about her history-making role and what she plans to focus on at BAI. We also take a look at the housing crisis in.
