Publishing is only part of the journey. This short video shares a key message from our recent @healthpromint.bsky.social paper: meaningful community engagement means moving beyond participation to lived experience leadership. I hope it makes our research more accessible beyond academia.

Last week, I joined the Multicultural HIV and Health Symposium hosted by Health Equity Matters. One key reflection: stronger HIV responses require greater alignment across advocacy, policy, research, and community sectors. Collaboration matters. #HIV #HealthEquity #LGBTQIA

"The day the paper was published should have been a moment of pride. Instead, it felt like a quiet erasure."👇 This article is a story of how a researcher contributed meaningfully to a study, only to find themself excluded from authorship when the paper was published. 1/8
