What do healthcare and policing have in common? For communities of color, the answer is a lot, especially as it relates to inequality. By looking at the parallels, these systems can learn solutions to advance equity from each other and inform the fight for institutional equity and social justice across the board. In this inspiring talk, Dr. Melissa Clarke invites us to expand our thinking to consider that intersectional solutions exist to racial inequity.
