She shares engaging stories of how she came to understand inequity personally, what equity and cultural humility look like, and new approaches for partnering with communities. As Lemus describes it, “health equity is taking what's real in the community and integrating it into a system that doesn't know about it.” You’ll get new tools and a big dose of inspiration from Lemus.
