This Black History Month, we are lifting up Black caregivers, who have long been at the forefront of fighting for better systems of care and demanding solutions to the entrenched inequities that hit Black caregivers especially hard.
That’s why, to kick off the month, we are sharing the words that Black caregivers in our network have so generously shared with us, in using their experience to call for change and vision the future we all need.
