At CSSP
Support DULCE’s anti-racist, community-based approach to supporting families by promoting the healthy development of infants and addressing social determinants of health.
I do this work because
I have seen first-hand how the American health system not only neglects, but actively harms communities, including my own—and I am dedicated to ensuring that harm does not continue.
I am most proud of
My work alongside Diné community health representatives on Navajo Nation, in helping understand how health communication works as a tool for equity and justice.
