Pride Fest 2025: When the Beat Dropped, So Did the Barriers

Joy is resistance. Presence is power.

“ChiWellness shows up — and shows out.”

That’s what one attendee said as a crowd swelled around our booth at this year’s Pride Fest — a sea of Black joy rising right in the middle of a predominantly white space. Our presence wasn’t just noticed; it was needed.

This year, ChiWellness brought more than vibes. We brought care, conversation, and connection — launching our brand-new Ask the DOC series, where community members got to ask real questions directly to a medically trained physician. No stigma. No shame. Just curiosity, culture, and care.

From midday sun to evening glow, these moments captured the truth: when we show up together, healing begins.

What is “Ask the DOC”?

A ChiWellness TV original, Ask the DOC invites the community to bring real questions — anything from HIV prevention to prostate health, hormone therapy to holistic care. No appointments, no judgment — just answers, rooted in love and expertise.

New episodes drop regularly on ChiWellness TV.


Want to keep the movement going?

ChiWellness is creating spaces all year long — through episodes, events, and affirming care pathways — to support the mind, body, and soul.
