Episode notes

Today, misinformation can spread quickly, and bias can overshadow facts. For over 30 years, Ged Kenslea, Senior Director of Communications at AIDS Healthcare Foundation, has seen false and damaging stereotypes target people living with AIDS and HIV.

In his work, Ged has challenged those misconceptions and made it his core focus to build a communications platform that combats stigma. In today’s episode, Jenn and Kalli welcome Ged to discuss his career highlights in educating the public about one of the most devastating health crises in history. The power of PR and marketing can do more than promote a message; it can shift narratives and create meaningful change.
