Addressing Institutional Racism & Health Inequality: My Perspective

Diana Namumbejja Abwoye comments on race and health disparities from her perspective as someone who emigrated to the U.S. from Uganda, trained as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and is raising two daughters. She challenges white people to go beyond equal opportunity statements, to become "white accomplices" instead of merely allies in ending institutional racism.

I challenge white people to not just be our white allies but to be our white accomplices. White people need to use this moment to decide who they are and who they will continue to be in this world we are all sharing.
