Dear John,

I'm excited to invite you to join me on Tuesday, June 29th from 6-7 PM ET for the next installment in our Virtual Uptown Chats ([link removed]) , a special event in celebration of Pride Month.

Hair straighteners, skin lighteners, and makeup products can be packed with harmful chemicals that can leave negative impacts on the body. Many of these toxic products are disproportionately aimed at women and femme identified people of color. We will be hosting a panel of researchers, advocates and queer drag performers to discuss the toxic chemicals found in beauty and other personal care products and their impact on the queer community.

Moderated by Taylor Morton, WE ACT's Director of Environmental Health and Education, two of our panelists are:
* Jahlove Serrano ([link removed]) , a health educator, AIDS activist and youth advocate, background dancer, choreographer, androgynous model and drag queen.
* Dr. Ami Zota ([link removed]) , an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental & Occupational Health at the George Washington University Milken School of Public Health.

For more details about the event, please see below or register online ([link removed]) . You will be able to submit a question for the panelists upon registration or ask live during the event.
Hope to see you there!

Best,
