Dr. O. is the executive director of the National Harm Reduction Coalition. When Dr. O. stepped into HIV and harm reduction work, she didn’t know much about the virus. But as she walked alongside people in the community, she learned how to meet people heart-to-heart. Dr. O. shares how she now fights for young people and the people who don’t have a voice. Marvell and Dr. O. talk about what it takes to do true harm reduction work, how to coach people to help them find answers, and bring them with you on the path to liberation.
