Speaking Engagement
2022 Iowa Civil & Human Rights Symposium
Session Title: Healthcare at the Intersections
COVID-19 exposed how vulnerable populations are at greater risk when quality, accessible, culturally conscious, and person-centered services and support are not available. In this session, the facilitator will share their work in supporting folks at the intersections of race, gender, ability, spirituality, sexual orientation, citizenship status, and class. We'll identify the challenges of navigating health and social services, and how to better create informative policies and practices that support BIPOC people and their families.
