Just finished Racial Literacy for Healthy Relationships! A great workshop led by Dr. Howard Stevenson #harvardblkhealth #bhmc2021

“We must use social media for social good!” -Dr. Delores James @djames00uf of @UF Overcoming the #DigitalDivide @Harvard @BHM_Conference

“We all need to be bilingual in our own language.” -Dr. Rima Rudd, in reference to using accessible language for patients. #harvardblkhealth #bhmc2021

Another Health Literacy gem from Meisha Brown! - Having material that represents individual’s culture rather than simply translating it to their language calls for partnerships with the community/health communication marketing experts with a team based approach. @BHM_Conference
