Dr. Theo Hodge, Jr. - Monkeypox, Vaccines, Disparites, and HIV
Our guest for this podcast is Dr. Theo Hodge, Jr., Medical Director of the Washington Health Institute and Port of Harlem contributor. Dr. Hodge is especially interested in the study and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and an outspoken proponent of HIV prevention. Today, we will take about another disease, in particular, monkeypox.
As of today, nearly 38% of monkeypox cases are among Black people, yet Blacks represent only 12% of the US population. We will also talk about these disparities and the vaccine.
POH Presents: “Recipe for Change” and Discussion - Online
Join Port of Harlem publisher Wayne Young and Port of Harlem contributor Kennedra Tucker in a 30-minute discussion on “Recipe for Change: Amplifying Black Women.” Tucker has written for Port of Harlem magazine since she was in high school - - 22 years ago. Today, she is a K-12 health and physical education specialist pursuing a doctorate in school system leadership at the University of Maryland – College Park and is a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Educational consultant.
Well, we hope everyone had a chance to watch the episode of “Recipe for Change” in which we provided. If not, we will try to share enough of the show to those who saw the show can easily recall the discussions and those who did not, can follow. The show gathers celebrities, chefs, activists, and creators around a dinner table for necessary conversations.
