Re-release ~ Our Inaugural Podcast

Join us as we revisit our inaugural episode with Maimah Karmo of the Tigerlily Foundation. The #inclusionpledge initiative was started when our Trailblazer series co-host and the founder of Angel In Disguise, Inc, Jersi Baker, raised her voice at a conference asking why no one looked like her on stage even when the discussion was on racial disparities in healthcare for people living with MBC. From there, the TigerLilly Foundation’s Maimah Karmo in partnership with the founders of GRASP, Christine Hodgdon and Julia Maues and many others, developed the #inclusionpledge to get organizations and individuals to commit to taking real action to change these disparities. We will catch up with Maimah, Christine and Julia later this month but we wanted to re-release our inaugural podcast with Maimah since it is so very relevant still.
