We are proud to celebrate Maja Jera (They/Them) on November 20, 21, and 22 at Axis as they step down from their title as Miss Gay Ohio America 2025, and help crown the Miss Gay Ohio America 2026! 🏆👑

Maja Jera, who goes by Miah Turiaga during the day, has been a member of the Equitas Health team in Columbus since 2025. Maja is the second Equitas Health employee to capture the title of Miss Gay Ohio America! (And shout out to Cherry Poppins / Danny Thomas for being the first!)

Maja works for Safe Point Ohio, and uses their platform as Miss Gay Ohio America to support public health, bring awareness to s*xual health issues, raise money for AIDS Walk Ohio, and promote community outreach events occurring across Columbus’ premier LGBTQIA+ safe spaces. As a drag performer, Maja has also helped make huge strides for the Asian American community. When they were crowned, they were the first ever Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Miss Gay Ohio America.

Congratulations to Maja Jera, and thank you for the work you do! 👏🏳️‍⚧️🌈🩷

“If you’re feeling hesitant, most likely that is because of some prior life baggage, and that’s okay. I have that. We all have that. Most of us have some type of baggage when it comes to s*xual health and wellness. You are not alone.” - Emilee Hemler (She/Her) Equitas Health Athens Prevention Health Navigator 👏👏👏

Earlier this week, Emilee (pictured on the left) joined Dr. Jane Balbo and Molly Wales for S*x in the Dark – a free s*xual health & wellness panel hosted by Bobcat Well-Being at Ohio University.

S*x in the Dark was an opportunity for folks to anonymously submit questions they have regarding s*x, relationships, consent, pleasure, s*xual health, and more.

P.S. We are here for all of your s*x questions & s*xual health resource needs. No judgement. No shame! 🙌
