Health Equity Story Circles
Our Bodies. Our Stories. Our Healing.
A 4-Week Hybrid Community Series
Our health is more than appointments and diagnoses. It is shaped by our families, our histories, our communities, and the stories we carry.
Join us for Health Equity Story Circles, a four-part community series that creates space for honest conversations about the health issues that matter most to Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. Through storytelling, expert guidance, and meaningful dialogue, we’ll explore how to better understand our bodies, advocate for ourselves, and support one another in our journeys toward wellness.
Each gathering features a guest speaker, facilitated discussion, community storytelling, and practical resources you can take home.
Whether you’re looking to learn, heal, connect, or simply know you’re not alone, there’s a seat for you in the circle.
