'The trauma burden in this community is enormous,' said Jaime Grant, highlighting the necessity of addressing the mental health needs of LGBTQ+ women.
'Historically, medical spaces have not been safe for us,' explained Savy Elahian, pointing out the barriers LGBTQ+ women face in accessing quality healthcare.
'There’s been experimentation, there’s been medical racism. It's important to understand the historical impacts, especially for LGBTQ+ people of color,' Elahian noted.
