Hosted by the LGBTQ Center of Durham, this year’s event centered on the theme, "Always Forward, Never Straight: Preserving History, Coming Home. " Duke showed its support at the event’s Pride Vendor & Food Truck Rodeo held at Durham Central Park on September 27. The event featured more than 40 food trucks and 60 community vendors offering food, resources, and information to attendees. Six Duke groups were among the vendors: Duke Gender Care Clinic, Duke Dermatology, LGBTQ Family Medicine Home, Duke PrEP Clinic, ARISE, and the Department of Integrative Immunobiology. Sarah Wolfe, MD, associate professor of dermatology and vice chair for culture, engagement, and impact for dermatology, has participated in Pride: Durham with Duke Dermatology for the past three years.
