Recorded and produced by StoryCorps Studios, Voices From the Frontlines is a project created by #FirstRespondersFirst, an initiative of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Thrive Global, and Creative Artists Agency Foundation that takes a whole human approach to healthcare worker well-being. Additional support is provided by the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation.  In this conversation, Filipina and nurse practitioner Riza Mauricio talks to her three adult children Rina Mauricio and Rica Buchanan — both doctors — and Regie Mauricio, an economist, about her experiences with racism and sexism in the medical profession, and the importance of advocating for yourself and your community.
