Hollywood taught us to expect larger-than-life heroes. But real heroism is quiet—scientists, caregivers, and community leaders using data to help us survive outbreaks, disasters, and more. #ProtectScience #InvestInCommunities #Collaborate

Our health, well-being, and ability to thrive is strengthened by ensuring every person in every community is seen, valued, and supported. #Civilrightsequalshumanrights #communityresilience #firsttheycamefor

We must all champion it. 🌍🔬 #Innovation #Future #ScienceMatters #HealthEquity time.com/7284464/heal...

Being profiled in Feb for my health equity work reminded me: I’m here because of community.

Now I’m daring us to plan for hope—using design not just to reduce harm, but to reimagine justice, joy & futures we deserve.

At 16, I got into Howard University—then found out the college savings were gone. I was devastated. But on a fire escape in SE DC, a friend helped me turn panic into purpose. That moment shaped my path: studying how strong communities fuel resilience.
