Antonio Hardy, Being a Resource to My Peers

 

As part of Whitman-Walker’s 40th anniversary, officially January 13, 2018, we’re sharing 40 stories to help tell the narrative of Whitman-Walker in community. Meet Antonio, a graphic artist, poet and former Whitman-Walker Youth Services ambassador with REALTalk DC. Through REALTalk DC, Antonio became a sexual health resource to his peers and community. “Every day at REALTalk DC I see non-judgmental people. People that actually care about your well-being and truly do love you.”
