We are excited to present this year's theme of “Closing the G.A.P” -- directly related to our efforts to remove workforce barriers for Black and Brown youth and increase Black and Brown representation in the systems of Healthcare, Education, and Criminal Justice.

We will be “Closing the G.A.P” to inequitable access, underrepresentation, and wealth as it relates to entry level, professional and executive level jobs in healthcare.

Led by our P.O.W.E.R Partners and Community Council, this years event will be EPIC and include a roll out of our “It’s In Me” documentary related to amplifying the voices of those who work in healthcare and a fireside Q&A related to having honest and open conversations around the current state of healthcare and the governments and local institutions overall impact on our health.

Please email us at info@build2lead.org to get involved. In the meantime, here is a recap of our last Melanin and Medicine event:
