The organization was founded as a healthcare provider and now provides health and social services in several locations in the Chicago area.

Sampled from the 1990 R&B hit song by Salt-N-Pepa, Let’s Talk About Sex – The ‘Let’s Talk About Prep’ song by KC Ortiz, has already captured major heat as it made its debut on the Gay Music Chart 2018 Week 32 debuting at No. 32 in the USA.

The video was produced by Imagination and Muscle Productions. Directed by Tobin Del Cuore and filmed at a variety of Chicago locations, including Howard Brown’s Andersonville Brown Elephant resale shop, the eye popping music video is one that you will want to share instantly on your social media platforms.
