We’re still reflecting on the impactful takeaways from “Amplifying Voices, Transforming Healthcare: A Conversation On Equity.” This panel, hosted in collaboration with 2045 Studio, was moderated by our very own D'Anthony Jackson, VP, Social Influence, with speakers Shannelle Armstrong Fowler, Senior Communications Executive, AbbVie, and Melodie Narain-Blackwell, Founder, Color of Gastrointestinal Illnesses, Inc. (COGI - Co-Gee).     Some of our key learnings included:     - Representation From the Start: Ensuring diverse representation in the planning stages is crucial to creating healthcare solutions.   - Equipping and Investing in Diversity: Supporting diverse talent requires more than inclusion; it involves active investment in their advancement.   - Building Trust in Communities: Medical mistrust in marginalized communities can lead to improper treatments. Trusted partnerships and community involvement are key to overcoming these barriers.
