Dr. Pernell will share insights on how to design a culture of intersectional justice that creates inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible (IDEA) spaces where individuals and communities across the human experience can assert their identities and thrive holistically and multidimensionally. She will describe how to dare systems from institutional inertia to vibrant hubs of healing where health equity and health justice can be achieved and anti-oppression and anti-racist practices and policies can build brave and safe ecosystems where humanity can belong and their wellbeing be sustained.
