Public health professional who is passionate about improving the lives of Black people in the United States and opposing the impacts of racism. Driven by my life experiences and observation of the impacts of racism—structural, interpersonal, and internal—on health, wellness, and well-being in Black under-resourced communities, I work to evoke change in and for Black and/or under-resourced communities. My current work focuses more specifically on improving maternal and child health for Black communities in the United States.Nas sums up many of my thoughts about the fight for justice in his song “Rule”. “In this land of opportunity, look at what this country's got// There shouldn't be nobody homeless// How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet?// The Earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone// To all colors and creeds is to whom it belongs”Fighting against racism and other forms of oppression is one way I work to help folks have access to all the opportunities in this country, including optimal health, wellness, and well-being.Community | Health Equity | Anti-Racism | Maternal and Child Health | Policy | Advocacy | Engagement | Collaboration
