I am a Public Health Advocate because in our current societal climate, we are in a critical historical moment where true systems change will not be achieved unless we work collectively to disrupt and dismantle oppressive systems. I firmly believe that the structures we create, produce the outcomes that we see in our society. As such, public health plays a vital role in improving the overall health, wellness, and quality of life for our communities; specifically, our most disenfranchised and marginalized populations. As an organizational activist who has spent over 20 years challenging status quo systems, I believe that as the Director of California COVID Justice, I am in the right place at the right time to affect transformative change and improve outcomes in our most impacted communities.
