After a lengthy hiatus, Black Boy Joy Podcast is back!

This week, Ainsley interviews Garry Jones: a Birmingham based artist, activist and designer of The Red Ribbons- a 6 metre high sculpture memorialising those affected by AIDs and HIV which will be unveiled in the heart of Birmingham's gay village on World AIDs Day.

We talk about the AIDs Crisis in the 80s, Garry's tireless activism and past involvement in Birmingham Pride and World AIDs day memorials, carnivals and more
