How do we define racism as a public health crisis?
What are the misconceptions? How is the work changing? What does success in this space look like? Over a number of months in 2022 and 2023, our staff examined these questions, culminating in a webinar with panelists Councilwoman Janine Boyd, Jenice Contreras, Executive Director of the Northeast Ohio Hispanic Center for Economic Development, Habeebah Grimes, CEO of Positive Education Program (PEP), and Walter Patton, creator of Ghetto Therapy™️.
