Byron Allen and Dr. Anthony Fauci talk COVID-19 impact on the African-American community

Exclusive Interview on Allen’s Global News Platform/Network ‘theGrio’ Unpacks Life-Saving Efforts to Combat COVID-19

Founder/Chairman/CEO of Allen Media Group, Byron Allen, recently sat with Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for a powerful conversation about COVID-19’s devastating impact on the African-American community.

Hosted exclusively on Allen Media Group‘s digital news platform/network, theGrio, the video interview features Allen and Fauci unpacking community skepticism about vaccines, and how to reduce the spread of COVID-19.  Allen calls Fauci an “American hero” and praises him for his efforts to keep Americans safe. Allen even offered to provide Fauci and his family use of a COVID-safe private jet for a vacation as an expression of gratitude for all of Dr. Fauci’s dedication and hard work. Dr. Fauci graciously declined Allen’s generous gesture, as he is a federal government employee and not allowed to accept such gifts.

Allen’s full interview with Dr. Fauci can be viewed on Thanksgiving Day at 9:00 a.m. ET simultaneously via theGrio digital platform (www.thegrio.com), theGrio‘s YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/thegrio), theGrio’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/theGrio), and theGrio app on Roku and Amazon Fire.
