Welcome to our summer interview series. This week Anna DeShawn realized she hadn’t talked to any politicians as part of the Summer interview series. So she’s starting with Ken Mejia-Beal. Ken is a published commentator, a vocal activist for chronic illness for the last 16 years, in 2019 Ken was interviewed by the Smithsonian museum of African American history due to his groundbreaking work in the HIV/AIDS realm. Ken is also the first Black Chair of the Democratic Party of DuPage County, the first chair Under 40, first LGBT Chair, and the first Chair to win the Esteem Award for Man of the Year, 2022. We had a wonderful conversation about being Black & Queer in politics and why it's so important for us to be represented.
Follow Ken on Twitter: @KMBFORDUPAGE

More on the Summer Interview Series
The Queer News team is changing it up for the next couple of months so we have a little more time to enjoy the summer, our families, and rest. We hope you enjoy these conversations with some really wonderful queer folks doing good in the world. Those are the stories we want to amplify here on Queer News.
During the interview series we won’t leave queer news stories on the sidelines either. Anna will provide brief commentary about the top one or two queer news stories happening that we should be following. Not full stories but know we are still closely following the queer news feeds. You can always follow Anna on social media to stay up to date.

Love Anna and her show so much that I made sure to come here and review, too. Seriously, she knows her stuff and is shining a light on the stories that don't get told nearly enough. Love it!
