12/2-5/07 – Ovahness Team presents program at the National HIV Prevention Conference in Atlanta, GA
Ovahness Program Manager Tyrone Carter, Outreach Coordinator Chris Blades and G2G Young Women’s Program Manager Michelle Horton presented at the National HIV Prevention Conference in Atlanta, GA on Dec. 3, 2007. The Ovahness program was presented with two other community-based HIV prevention projects from Alaska and Washington. The Ovahness presentation, which consisted of short clips from the documentary “I’m Still Here: Becoming Legendary,” was very well received. Program Manager Tyrone Carter reported that staffer Chris Blades, 21, was bombarded by questions from the audience about his role at REACH LA as a peer educator and the LA/House Ball scene, “the presentation was highlighted by the fact that Chris was featured as part of the documentary and as a community member. People were most curious about his role, being a youth and all. But Chris carried himself as a true professional, regardless of his age.”
