Black Lives Matter
Like many of you, we have been outraged and incensed by the recent murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and Tony McDade. It has been hard to put into words how weary we are of the systemic racism that permeates all aspects of our society. It is not lost on us, that amidst a global pandemic that is disproportionately affecting black and brown communities, that people are taking to the streets, risking their health and their lives, to stand up against systemic racism.
As an organization started by a black woman, a black mother, we stand with all of you in calling for radical and lasting change to our broken systems that are ravaging our communities and quite literally killing us. We ask that you safely lift up the societal barriers that have led us to where we are. Please use a face covering when you are out, and practice social distancing. If you join a protest, consider a peaceful protest that allows you to stay in your car or keep six feet away from your neighbor. With a mission to diversify the health workforce and infuse change, we are encouraged by seeing so many of you speak out in these past few weeks. We are equally encouraged by seeing all of your photos of graduations from health professional school, college, graduate, and high school. We know that we must be the change. We see you, we hear you, we love you and we stand with you.
