I became painfully aware that too many of my fellow<br />
humans across the globe were feeling the effects of<br />
inequities in comprehensive healthcare and basic human<br />
comforts. I did not want my footprint to be made in sand,<br />
only to be washed away by the incoming tide. I wanted and<br />
needed to make a permanent difference. I am not clinically<br />
trained, but I can put pen to paper, and I DO have a voice: a<br />
loud New York voice. I enrolled in courses for global health<br />
policy and governance. My goal is to use my knowledge,<br />
voice, and passion to bring renewed focus on the glaring<br />
deficiencies that will begin the evolution of comprehensive,<br />
effective change in global health policy.<br />
What am I learning from COVID-19? Despite social distancing,<br />
restrictions on gatherings, and feelings of isolation… WE ARE<br />
NOT ALONE. We are all connected!<br />
“Let us stand in solidarity. Not to a specific country, race or<br />
religion, but rather to HUMANITY.”<br />
