Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee

In celebration of Black History Month, the ED&I committee is sharing the following announcements, articles, documentaries, book discussion and MSK and BLAM events:

• We partnered with the library to create this website for the reading list to be shared with the department that includes fiction, non-fiction and academic books, an initiative of Gleneara and Faith, with support from our librarians!
• Our colleague and visual artist Christopher S. Webster shared documentary films with us by some of his mentors and collaborators:
  • The Deadliest Disease in America by Crystal Emery
  • Black Women in Medicine by Crystal Emery, starring Jennifer Ellis
  • Changing the Face of Medicine: Black Women in Medicine (discussion), co produced by Michelle Materre
• Our colleague and visual artist Billy Rosa shared a project on Black maternal health in collaboration with The Good Listening Project, a group of listener poets. The partners added illustration, animation, and audio to the poems to tell the story of Black women and the unique challenges they face: Health4Equity: RxUCKUS
