In this episode of The Cure Chronicles Podcast, we feature Guy Anthony, a passionate HIV/AIDS activist, community leader, and writer. Following his HIV diagnosis, Guy has dedicated his life to eradicating the stigma associated with HIV and AIDS. He is the author of "Pos(+)tively Beautiful," a book of affirmations for those living with HIV, and the founder of the Black, Gifted & Whole Foundation, which awards scholarships to support Black, queer men at HBCUs. Previously, he served on DC’s Ryan White Planning Council, managing funding for HIV support initiatives and contributing to platforms like AIDS.gov and POZ.com. Guy has also organized the #POZTALK summit and #POZ-ONLY advocate dinners, aiming to create inclusive discussions across different age groups and social classes, thereby empowering the Black, queer community and celebrating its diverse identities.

Currently residing in Brooklyn, New York, Guy is focused on taking Black, Gifted & Whole to the international stage and raising funds for the Wanda Alstron Foundation, a housing initiative for homeless and at-risk LGBTQ+ youth. He recently launched GROVER New York, a line of budget-friendly, fine leather unisex messenger bags, which he calls a "love letter to Black luxury."
