Finished my #NAHJ2023 lessons with this informative panel about the role of journalists as public health allies!
It taught me how our work can help challenge the presence of racial stereotypes, provide environmental context on health reporting, and support community empowerment

Every step to remind me why I’m here. A nice touch @NAHJ

Numerous #IndigenousPeoples in this nation continue to struggle for land, water access, hunting and fishing rights, healthcare, and education. True freedom can only be achieved when it encompasses everyone. #july4 #4thOfJuly #Landback #HonorTheTreaties #NoPrideInGenocide

The Supreme Court's decision to strike down affirmative action, including in professional schools, like medical and nursing, will have detrimental consequences on Black health for generations to come. This is about life & death for us. Today, we are only 5% of physicians.

The limited support provided to Black American communities during the pandemic also translated into
a hesitancy to consider taking the vaccine or participating in COVID-19 research. One member asked, “Why would I trust you with
my DNA if I can't trust you to pick up the phone? ”
