I am currently employed at Durham County <br /> Government who is a member of GARE (Government Alliance on Race and Equity). I am <br /> currently serving on the Durham County Department of Public Health Racial Equity and Diversity <br /> Committee (Public Health Nexus Team). Later this month, I will be attending the GARE <br /> Conference. I will also be attending REI Phase I again as alumni in May. We have contracted <br /> and are currently working closely with UNC Gillings School of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in <br /> Research Program Director Dr. Deborah Stroman, PhD, CLU to implement change, review and <br /> revise county policies that sustain inequities in the workplace. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> on this board:) have worked in local government serving in Public Health for close to 10 years <br /> and continue to witness health and education disparities and barriers to care in brown and black <br /> people. As an employee at the local government level, I have experienced, witnessed, and <br /> suffered injustices through modernized and reverse racism disguised in such a way they are <br /> dismissed or unsubstantiated by Human Resource departments. I am aiming to use my <br /> knowledge, education and expertise to bring perspective in dismantling these actions in our <br /> systems. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> I would bring perspective from diverse viewpoints of race and social class as well as from a <br /> mental health standpoint. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br />
