How should those advancing anti-racism in healthcare talk about the work? An expert panel discusses this, and other community-submitted questions, before sharing personal stories of how they came to work in healthcare and community advocacy. Sinsi Hernández-Cancio (National Partnership for Women & Families) stresses the importance of storytelling. Shari Suchoff (Brooklyn Communities Collaborative) shares a powerful example engaging the community. Marshall Chin (University of Chicago) talks about framing equity-advancing programs amidst pushback on “DEI” efforts. Torian Easterling (One Brooklyn Health) reveals how “unprecedented collaboration” during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic gives him hope.
