Step in Our Shoes: A Discussion on Being an Ally to the Black Community

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Get ready for a live discussion on all things around #BlackLivesMatter. From recent events to historical racism and healthcare disparities, moderator Tina Aswani Omprakash (Minority Health & Disabilities Advocate and MPH Student) will be speaking to three strong voices in the African American community:

- Erron Maxey (international basketball player, Crohn's disease advocate)
- Tonya Hegamin (Author, Professor and T1D & LGBTQIA+ advocate)
- Larry Turner (former Lakers basketball star)

DISCLAIMER: This conversation is meant to be uncomfortable while serving as educational and informative to bring forward greater acceptance and inclusion of the African American community.
