Episode 42 of We in Lewes is part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Kevin Mallinson, PhD and is now available at bit.ly/WIL-Mallinson-2.

Mallinson took the lessons he learned as a fireman to a career as a working nurse and professor, earning an Associates Degree in Nursing from the Florida Keys Community College, his BSN from the University of Miami, and both his MSN and PhD in Nursing from the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. The second episode of Mallinson’s podcast focuses on his work with LGBTQ+ communities; persons with or at risk for HIV; the Nurses SOAR (Strengthening Our AIDS Response) program in Lesotho, South Africa, and Eswatini, also known as the Kingdom of Swaziland; and lessons learned from his Fulbright Scholarship in Southern Africa.

In the early '80s, Kevin Mallinson was hired by the Key West Fire Department, unknowingly becoming the first openly gay professional firefighter in the U.S. To force him out of the department, Kevin became the target of unrelenting homophobic assaults. However, never backing down from who he was, he learned to disarm his attackers with intelligence, humor, and a commitment to non-violence.

Episode 41 of We in Lewes features Dr. Kevin Mallinson, PhD and is now available at bit.ly/MIL-Mallinson.

Kevin’s book, “Alarm in the Firehouse: A Memoir of America’s First Openly Gay Professional Firefighter,” is available at Browseabout Books in Rehoboth, biblion in Lewes, and at the Lewes Public Library.
