From Clarity to Action: Aligning Values and Health Equity Goals
Ever wonder why “equity” can mean so many different things—and why getting it right matters so much? In this episode, we dive into the power of defining equity clearly and why the words we use shape real-world solutions in health and social systems. Listen as Reginald Tucker-Seeley breaks down how organizations can align their values with actions, build consensus, and use storytelling to bring data and disparities to life in ways everyone can understand. We also explore the challenges we still face, from deeply rooted systemic disparities to limited funding, and why making lasting change takes both patience and persistence. Whether you’re new to health equity or have been working in the space for years, this conversation offers practical insights and inspiring reminders of how clarity, reflection, and intention can move us closer to fairness for all.
