The result of a post college grant landed Meyer in Swaziland, now Eswatini, as a journalist exploring the reality of a country with the world’s largest HIV population. He began with a job in a candle factory, spending two years without access to the internet. Led by curiosity and his ability to create community Meyer developed the framework to honor and amplify the visibility of the African gay man.

In this book group, Meyer discusses, among other things:

blending craft and technology
