Show Notes
Hello Poz Viberz! Welcome back tribe.
OUR HOST: This week our host is Phillipe Lutterbeck, an activist living in Dublin. Phillipe appeared on the podcast for the first time in 2025 as a guest and now they're back behind the mic. You can listen to his episode here.
OUR GUESTS: With six years in the hair industry, Donna Fennessy is a barber and stylist who sees hair as so much more than just a haircut. For her, it’s about confidence, self-expression, creativity and giving people a space where they can show up exactly as they are. Outside of the salon, Donna is also a youth worker, with a strong passion for working alongside young people and her wider community. Whether sharing advice from the chair, giving encouragement, or simply being there to listen, Donna loves sharing knowledge she’s picked up along the way. She is proud to be part of the Queer Hawk community, where her love of hair, people and all things queer come together. Kiro is a Brazilian-Irish entrepreneur and company director. His first pozcast appearance was in 2023 which you can listen to here. In 2024, he co-founded Queer Hawk, Dublin’s proudly queer hair, barbering and beauty salon. Living openly with HIV, Kiro has previously shared his personal story on Poz Vibe. He continues to use his voice to challenge stigma and promote visibility. Through Queer Hawk, he brings those same values into business, championing diversity and creating an inclusive space built around community, creativity and unapologetic queer identity.

More from Poz Vibe Podcast
Professor Fiona Lyons is a consultant in genitourinary and HIV medicine at St James's Hospital, Dublin, and a clinical professor in the School of Medicine at Trinity College Dublin. She has worked in HIV care since 1993. Fiona says when she started her career there was little hope that people living with HIV on effective treatment could expect the same life expectancy as everyone else but that has changed. For ten years Fiona was clinical lead of the HSE's National Sexual Health Programme. In this role, she was central to the development of Ireland's first ever sexual health strategy, the roll out of PrEP - a medication that, when taken, can prevent HIV infection and the launch of the free, national, at home STI screening service - SH24. During this time the HSE also partnered with Poz Vibe Tribe on the "You, Me and HIV" campaign, which set out to challenge public perceptions of HIV. Fiona has since returned to full-time clinical work at the GUIDE Clinic at St James's, caring for people living with HIV and those with sexual health needs. Thanks for listening and pass on the episode to anyone you think would benefit from its message. Love, Veda and Robbie. Poz Vibe Podcast is a Veda Lady and Robbie Lawlor production.
