Meet Krishna, LGBTQ & HIV/AIDS activist
Krishna Ramsarran is a native of Guyana but was raised in Richmond Hill, Queens and has been involved in community organizing since 2010 advocating for the Caribbean LGBTQ Community. He’s an author, HIV/AIDS activist and program director at the Caribbean Equality Project. He is a recent graduate of the New York City Anti-Violence Project’s “Speakers Bureau” leadership program. Krishna is trained to provide education and support for survivors of violence to share their stories to educate the public about how to prevent violence, and what to do if they or someone they love is affected by anti-LGBTQ & HIV-affected violence. Krishna’s pioneer HIV activism includes collaborating with community leaders and community-based organizations to raise awareness about the intersection of the LGBTQ & HIV-affected identity and violence through coalitions, networks and other collaborative work. He continues to advocate and speak out on behalf of Caribbean LGBTQ people living with HIV/AIDS giving a face to the virus in situations when few have done so or were unable.
