Hello! My name is John Settles and I am the Program Director of the "fear not." Initiative.

The "fear not." Initiative is a program that seeks to bring together queer black men and masculine-identifying people that live with HIV and a faith-based background to talk about individual and community solutions about how we can all do our part to reduce HIV stigma within faith spaces.

The goal is $30,000 by April 2025 to produce in-person events to reach 500 people. Your support helps us create space for these conversations to occur, and every dollar helps to start and maintain this program.
