What happens when caring for the culture, content creation, and cutting-edge biotech come together? The Black community remains disproportionately affected by HIV and other STIs, and creators have real power to help change how we talk about sexual health. At the same time, AI is transforming how people engage with healthcare and wellness, opening new opportunities across both industries. This conversation brings together voices from content creation, STEM, biotech, and community engagement to explore the latest innovations in HIV and sexual health, the growing influence of digital creators, and how both are shaping what’s next.
