Despite the efforts to move women into the C- Suite, research shows a drop in gender diversity on corporate boards in IT. More efforts are needed to ensure equal access to decision-making, notably in fields w/o historical representation of diverse voices. https://t.co/pNVv6iFrVP

I'm honored to open the Health & Environmental Funders Network Annual Conference this morning in Fresno. It was great to discuss policy innovations and explore philanthropic practices that can fuel community-powered transformative action.

Take your time through the open enrollment period. Older citizens should plan to do extra research to familiarize themselves with the newly updated Medicare plan to prevent any unwelcoming surprises. #Healthcare https://t.co/LXXhyQBS4U

I am pleased to see states like Indiana take the initiative to suspend the Medicaid work requirement for more accessible health care.

It is great to see someone so young take the initiative to make a difference in the #community. #MakeChange https://t.co/NjTdMW40GG

Community voice and leadership is crucial for any effective change movement. I was proud to moderate a discussion today at @inlandrising with @katenrg and @lenny_mendonca, two Californians who understand this truth and care about a #CaliforniaForAll. @cagobiz @cal_opr

Friends, family, and other social relationships may help everyone live longer. Social determinants play a large role in a person's overall well being, which could lead to a longer lifespan!

The keys to reaching the goals of health equity lie not only in medication, nutrition, and exercise, but through solving hunger, loneliness, and trauma as well. #socialhealth #healthcare https://t.co/RIGkVVRSG0

#FlashbackFriday to speaking at the Equity on the Mall event on March 6, 2019, an annual day of democracy in action to close the divide between the San Joaquin Valley residents and policymakers.

Isolation/Loneliness felt by the older generation can be detrimental to overall health, including risks such as heart disease and hypertension. It is imperative that we maintain connection with anyone that may feel the effects from isolation or loneliness. https://t.co/0kVFqjULrk

New research shows talking to pets combats loneliness. While it is important to socialize with other humans, the boost in #mentalhealth from a beloved animal has been proved beneficial. #mentalhealthmatters https://t.co/gst4gR5p2Q

Social determinants of health have been in focus frequently. The push for improved social health will increase happiness and well-being of all Americans. It is a long overdue and welcome change to focus on total health of individuals and whole communities. https://t.co/xU58nE89nJ

The Great American Cleanup Program, conducted by Keep America Beautiful, improves upon public space cleanup, beautification, and recycling events. These events not only mean a cleaner environment, but also encourage the community to unify for the cause. https://t.co/4KWAGyo13n

It's an absolute honor to be named one of @SacNewsReview's "30 for our 30th," comprised of individuals who embody their mission of making an impact in the community. Congrats to the featured leaders & thank you for all you do in the community. https://t.co/o4CUrzqYFm #Sacramento

A successful future for CA requires the vision, talent and contributions of all of our youth and I’m proud to stand with the leaders calling for true investment in our youth and in the Youth Reinvestment Fund.

[TheCenter @TheCenterSHF]

We must continue to invest in California’s youth, looking at them in the lens of their potential and preparing them to be better able to navigate the world. #youthreinvestmentfund

[Chet P. Hewitt @ChetPHewitt]

This group of youth has made a difference in the issue of plastic pollution through the @bahaplasmvmnt. Their dedication to changing plastic use in their country has made a huge impact already!

@LEGO_Group's LEGO's innovation promotes inclusivity and a healthy learning environment, one that allows all children to learn. By providing this type of support, we can foster a love of learning, which will boost confidence and self-esteem. https://t.co/QHJPMGvTaO

[Chet P. Hewitt @ChetPHewitt]

Connection and social supports matter. Humans are social creatures, and too often, we think health is just what we eat or our physical capabilities. Advancements in "social prescriptions" could not only benefit individuals but build community, too. https://t.co/ppW4ppX6yF

@mujerxsrising's mission to raise public awareness about sexual violence in the farming industry and fight for social justice is a great example of art's importance in activism. https://t.co/J1p3s8YZx2 #SocialJustice #Empowerment
