Lovell’s Food For Thought-The StarFish Story & Addressing Health Inequities
Making A Difference
I thought I would share this story of the Starfish, adapted by MissKorang. Although we have made little progress in addressing health inequities, like the story of the starfish, we have had a significant impact on those we have reached. At the end of her version of the starfish story, MissKorang talks about Racism. It maybe that racism is to big a topic for the nation to grasp, having heard it being root cause of America’s problem. Turning a death ear to even listening to a something it really needs to consider. White America is still at the helm of this nation, whether we like it or not, and we need for them to not only listen but understand and act. To me, framing the discussion around health inequities may be a viable path.

Pride, Prejudice, and Power
June is Pride month in the United States. In big cities and small communities, LGBTQ+ people and their friends, families, and allies will celebrate freedom and progress toward full equality. All fair-minded Americans can celebrate that progress. But there is a growing shadow over this year’s celebrations.
