"We've Done It Before and We'll Do It Again:" Gender, HIV/AIDS and the Fight for Community Care, with Ariel Oleynikov

In this episode, public educator Cindy McMann sat down with Ariel Oleynikov (she/her), formerly of WHAI (The Women’s HIV/AIDS Initiative) and ARCH (HIV/AIDS Resources and Community Health), which closed in March after 35 years when their funding was discontinued.

Ariel and I talked about her activist work around women living with HIV/AIDS in Guelph and Wellington County, the links between gendered oppression and the HIV epidemic, the beauty of collaborative, community-based health care, the impacts of ARCH closing on Guelph and a lot more.

And then, after the podcast recording, Ariel became G-W WIC's brand new rural public educator! We're so glad you get a chance to meet her!
