Update: An exterminator heard about her story and did an inspection for free. The rat feces, urine, and filth flies are so bad that he deemed her apartment unlivable, especially for a cancer survivor like her with a suppressed immune system. So unacceptable. What an evil landlord

yeah this made me start crying like the AIDS crisis overall is not discussed as much as it should be, but information about how it impacted Black queer women specifically is even harder to find.
"When I started out on Broadway, 'Dreamgirls,' we lost half of our cast to AIDS."
Sheryl Lee Ralph—famous for her breakout role in the original Broadway production of 'Dreamgirls' and her ongoing portrayal of the no-nonsense kindergarten teacher on the sitcom 'Abbott Elementary'—champions another kind of teaching through her decades-long work as an activist, particularly raising awareness about HIV/AIDS.
Recently, in collaboration with the DIVA Foundation, the nonprofit she founded in 1990, Ralph executive-produced documentary special 'Living Proof' which highlights the experiences of Black women living with HIV in the South. Leading by example, Sheryl Lee Ralph is honored among TIME's 16 Women of the Year. Read her story and meet the honorees here: time-magazine.visitlink.me/U…

Stage 3 rectal cancer in a 26 year old. This is what I've been warning about. The incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults has nearly doubled since the early 1990s. We're seeing Stage III and IV in people under 40 with increasing aggressiveness.
But the real story here is the treatment. This is dostarlimab, a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor. Immunotherapy alone. No surgery. No chemo. No radiation. 100% clinical complete response rate in mismatch repair deficient rectal cancers. The immune system did what it was designed to do.
We've known since PD-1 inhibitors were approved in 2014 that this was the direction cancer treatment needed to go. The paradigm is shifting. Empower the immune system instead of destroying it.
