Super excited to share that I'm part of the first-ever cohort for the Culture of Health Leadership Institute for Racial Healing, an 18-month leadership experience that supports practitioners advancing racial and health equity in their work: https://t.co/uJ1iIBCfKJ

[Kim Rodgers, MA (she/her) @KimDoesComms]

Racial hierarchy & white supremacy continue to be narratively, legislatively, and practically reinforced across every system as an acceptable status quo. I'm so, so grateful for this opportunity to build community with 39 other folks who know it doesn't have to be this way.

[Dr. Wendy Ellis @wendyruns]

📢 @ResilNation team member @KimDoesComms has been selected to be an inaugural member of the @RWJF Leadership Institute for Racial Healing. A commitment to #Equity and Community Voice is a hallmark of her leadership. Congratulations!

(1/5) Learning, healing from & rectifying the impacts of history—personal & collective—is how we move from trauma to #resilience. In this @Enquirer article, @danhornnews highlights the story of @wendyruns' grandparents to explain Cincinnati's segregation: https://t.co/k5tTWDri2U

Many people will turn George Floyd into a martyr today. We must fight to remember that he did not *give* his life for justice, for our movement, for an uprising. He wanted to live. He fought to live.
