Growing up in the Bayview District, a predominately Black community in San Francisco, it was not until I went to college when I understood the marginalization and disparities in health, wealth, and careers in our community due to years of systemic issues. This fueled my drive to work on strategies that create equity in recruiting and hiring processes.
