Only 1 in 3 African women have access to the internet–compared with half of men. The cost to the...

Slavery's destructive legacy has fueled massive health disparities for generations. Ignoring these impacts has inflicted countless harms on the Black community; reparations can help eradicate these differences. Read more in my op-ed for @TheHill: thehill.com/opinion/civil-ri…

America’s health care spending leads the world—but due to unaddressed social drivers of health, our life expectancy doesn't reflect that investment. In @TIME, @DonBerwick and I argue that health care systems must shift their approach to improve outcomes: time.com/6281957/american-he…
