Theo Brown (he/him/his) is a Jamaican-born resident of the D.C./Maryland/Virginia (DMV) area. He is an avid HIV/AIDS activist, passionate volunteer, and advisor for organizations and programs across the greater metropolitan area. Serving as the Public Relations Liaison and Board of Directors Vice Chair of Caribbean Equality Project since 2015, Theo has been responsible for communications, training volunteers, and curating the Caribbean Equality Project's rich culture-shifting history of activism, racial justice, immigration reform, and legislative advocacy.  

As a Queer immigrant, Theo's immigration journey has taken him from starting as an international student to being undocumented, shortly before becoming a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) beneficiary. Having the DACA status facilitated employment, economic, and continued educational opportunities, leading Theo to obtain a permanent residency during his intriguing tenure in the United States. 

Theo has been a devoted sexual health advocate for safer sex practices throughout a diverse population, most recently narrowing his scope to the Caribbean LGBTQ+ Community's use of PrEP and PEP. His activism has included reaching out to and engaging with students and the youth populations through innovative ways, such as Project (RED), which aimed to promote testing and becoming knowledgeable of one's status (for all STDs/STIs). Theo continues to fight for intersectional gender and racial representation of people impacted by HIV/AIDS, explicitly centering the Caribbean LGBTQ+ diaspora. 

Theo currently serves as the Board of Directors Co-Chair and remains a voting rights advocate, promoting voter education and civic engagement through Caribbean Equality Project's "Mash-Up De Vote.” This is a culture-specific, non-partisan political power-building voter education campaign. His political organizing and outreach advocacy focuses on civic participation within the Caribbean and LGBTQ+ immigrant communities in the U.S.
