Dr. Dean's blog articles

Health Equity For All

Economic Justice For All

Liberation For All

While we all expect to learn from each other during our time together, we also seek to center the rich cultures that have been cultivated by love, joy, struggle, and resistance. In short, this is a convening and a celebration. So, please meet our Creatives:

Check Out Our Summit Playlist

The late Dick Clark of American Bandstand fame said, “Music is the soundtrack of our lives.” This playlist was curated to commemorate the key messages of the Summit.

The first 10 songs, selected by Dr. Marla M. Dean, correspond to each segment of the Summit. From the prelude to meditation & movement to each panel and the performances in between and ultimately the call to action (postlude), each song seeks to connect the topics discussed at the Summit to their musical muse. The remaining songs just keep the vibe going because there is so much work left undone.

And since this Summit is all about community, we invite you to add to the playlist.

We also have a Spanish-inspired playlist curated by our colleague, Yorman De La Rosa. You are also encouraged to contribute to this playlist.
