In quoting Ms. Byers “What inspires me most is the fact that I am a part of something bigger than myself. I use my voice to advocate for those who can’t speak for themselves or feel like they don’t belong. I also use my faith to fight for justice and equality for all people. I believe that we can make a difference in this world by working together in the transgender community, particularly the minority community. The Transgender community Is on of the most diverse groups in America today. My goal is to create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued. The wellness of our community is what inspire me.”PLEASE DONATE WE ARE COMMUNITY
ETSI is currently opening a full health clinic in Portsmouth, Virginia. The city of Portsmouth is also located in Southeast Virginia. It is the 9th most populous city in Virginia and is part of the Hampton Roads Metropolitan south side area. Our Hampton office is located on the peninsula side of the Hampton Roads. We selected Portsmouth to expand our services because there is documented HIV healthcare disparities in this city. Portsmouth has the 2nd highest HIV rate in the Eastern Region of Virginia and its population is 52% Black or African American. With 9 out of 10 African American women affected by HIV, domestic violence, homelessness, drugs and survival sex-workers, ETSI Health Clinic will provide HIV/STD testing in this Portsmouth Health Clinic. All proceeds will go into providing services to underprivileged marginalized communities and the upkeep of the free HIV & Harm Reduction Clinic.
