Connecting to the human story

Debbie DiStefano, PhD, is the Chief People and Equity Officer at Hilltown Community Health Centers, Inc.

She writes, "I find that helping folks connect to the human story can guide an understanding of racism, what it is, how it developed, and how it is directly impacting the whole health of people of color. Being antiracist is essential to our mission. I turn to the Race and Health Equity Resource Guide for podcasts such as Code Switch, videos such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: The Danger of a Single Story, and Beverly Daniel Tatum’s Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?  We also partner with organizations such as the Women of Color Health Equity Collective as a way to learn, confront, and grow."
