Introducing Putting People First  from Can We End Epidemics?.Follow the show: Can We End Epidemics? The United Nations says the world could end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030, but what does that mean? And with less than six years to go, how attainable is this target?In this episode, host Henry Bonsu is joined by Anwar Ogrm, a grassroots trans activist who is the movement-building program lead at Global Action for Trans Equality, and Nneka Nwokolo, the global head of patient engagement at ViiV Healthcare and an honorary consultant physician in HIV and sexual health at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London. They discuss how people and communities must be at the heart of public health responses to end infectious disease. Unfortunately, all too often voices go unheard, efforts are inadequately resourced, and there is an imbalance of power fueled by inadequate access to financial and other important resources as well as access to spaces where life-changing decisions are made, including public policy and laws that directly impact people’s lives. But, as this conversation proves, tapping into the knowledge within and between communities is essential for the programs they develop, their advocacy, and the ways they organize, mobilize, and campaign to ensure people and communities are not left behind.Glossary of terms used this season: https://foreignpolicy.com/podcasts/can-we-end-epidemics/ DISCLAIMER: Please note, this is an independent podcast episode not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced in conjunction with the host podcast feed or any of its media entities.

Kenya Moore has been indefinitely suspended. We break down the incidents leading up to that suspension, the suspension, her IG live, the cast being instructed not to speak to her, the support she has received from Porsha and Drew, the likelihood she will be fired and never return to RHOA and last, but not least, how RHOA moves forward next season in the event Kenya does not return. In other news, Kim Zolciak and Cynthia are set to make a return to TV together, Nene turned down the opportunity, Tamra slams Shannon - again, Alexis and John Janssen have sex more than 4 times a day and Kyle Richards breaks down filming with Dorit in leaked footage of RHOBH Season 14.

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’s DeShawn Snow steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Season One, OG RHOA, DeShawn Snow. Well it has been a minute, hasn’t it? After a very long pause, RHOA has finally been recast, is filming and set to return to our Bravo screens later this year. On that note, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only DeShawn Snow. We catch up with DeShawn on all she been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens and chat with DeShawn about her involvement in the franchise - casting, filming, her edit, her exit from the show, how producers thought she was “too normal” and “too nice" for the direction the show was going and how she found out she wasn’t coming back. We chat cast mates - Kim, Shereé, Nene Leakes and many of our other fav Peach Holders past and present - Kandi, Cynthia, Porsche and Kenya! Grab your peaches and take a listen. @deshawnsnow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef  BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) BADLANDS PETS - SUPERFOOD COMPLETE - badlandsranch.com/Velvet  (50% Off Your Regular-Priced Order w/ a 90-Day Money-Back Guarantee on Dog Food Vital To Your Dog’s Health) CROCS - crocs.com (20% Off Crocs’ New Brooklyn, Miami & Getaway Sandals with Code Sandals20) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) THIS WAS US (Check Out This New Podcast As The Cast of This Is Us Relives Each Episode Every Tuesday on Apple, Spotify and YouTube) TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE (Visit One of Tropical Smoothie Cafe’s 1400+ Locations or Order Online or Through Their App Their Summer Mocktail Smoothies) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 6.  It is official. We are at the half way mark and Teresa and Louie have finally sat down with Rachel and John Fuda.  Apologies, rejections of apologies, name calling and another epic storm out but this wouldn’t be RHONJ without a good table flip or walk out.  We break down the episode - Dolo wants a ring, Cabral heads to Fashion Week, Marge the Sarge does charity work, Messy G lays low, Fessler and Aydin have fun and sip margs, Jackie and Tre grow closer and much, much more.  Our favorite guest, Teresa Giudice, as played by the one and only Andrea Lopez, steps Behind The Rope to help us make sense of all this drama and all that has been going on behind the scenes off air in the dirty jerz. After that, for all you wonderful Patreons who have been asking, yes, as a huge thank you for sticking with us through thick and thin we share our live show from the other week where no question was off limits and where we could not plead  the fifth. Of course the REAL reason for past RHONJ friendship breakups was the top question we received and yea, it was time to set the record straight. #enjoy @andrealopezcomedy @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week during our live show we predicted that RHONJ would move forward with Teresa, Dolo and Rachel Fuda after this toxic, low rated season comes to a close. Radar.com listened to our live show and is reporting today that an inside source claims this as true. Are we the inside source? We break that down and discuss how likely our prediction is to come true. Denise Richards and The Wild Things has been green lit and, with the help of the same producers as RHOBH, coming to E! sometime soon. A clip has surfaced overnight from RHOBH filming and Kyle Richards is not holding back when letting Dorit Kemsley have it and we are so here for it. Finally, Andy Cohen accuses Carole Radziwill of trashing him and Carole slams back like only Radzi could. A slow day today it is not. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.
