Welcome; let's connect!I’m Nkem (in-kem); a strategic health equity advocate who is passionate about finding innovative systems solutions that center the lived experiences and voices of marginalized communities.

Through my work, I have identified critical areas for new programming, research, and policy; developed both youth and community-focused engagement strategies; facilitated 30+ cross-sectoral partnerships nationwide; and facilitated a multitude of EDIA-focused workshops and events.When I’m not at work, you can catch me practicing karate, playing piano, or doing sudoku!_______________________________________________________________________________________________“When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed.
