Feb 4 “Distrust in Science” [Virtual]
Exploring historical medical injustices, their lasting impact on community trust, and pathways toward healing and ethical healthcare relationships.
When you think about trust in healthcare, what experiences - either personal or from family stories - have shaped your perspective? How do past medical injustices continue to influence healthcare decisions in your family or community today? What does healing look like between healthcare institutions and communities that have experienced historical harm?
Feb 26 "Legacy and Justice" [In person]
Art talk. “Surface Under the Microscope” Series on HeLa paintings: Examining how historical inequities continue to shape present-day experiences.
Mar 25 "Family Stories and Medical History” [In person]
Looking at how health information, genetic heritage, and family narratives intersect with community wellbeing and identity.
When did you first become aware of your family's medical history? How did this knowledge affect you? What stories about health and healing have been passed down in your family? How has your community's relationship with healthcare systems evolved across generations?"
Apr 11 “A HeLa Story” [Virtual]
A reflection on Jermaine Jackson’s presentation, “A HeLa Story: Henrietta Lacks the Mother of modern and Future medicine” (April 10, 12pm)
What moment or story from Jermaine Jackson's talk resonated most deeply with you? How did hearing the Lacks family story directly from a family member shift your understanding of the HeLa legacy? What connections did you notice between the Lacks family's experience and stories from your own family or community?"
