equity challenge

It has been said, “Change starts at home.” That’s the idea behind the upcoming 2023 Community Equity Challenge. The challenge is put forth by the United Way of Washtenaw County and seeks to help us educate ourselves about implicit bias and the challenges to equity, diversity, and inclusion. WEMU's David Fair talks with Michigan Medicine training manager, Ellen-Copeland Brown, about her experiences with the challenge and the difference it has made in how she approaches life and work.

We talk a lot about equity and inclusion in our community. It's about access to opportunity. For those with disabilities, gaining full access can still prove difficult. Alex Gossage has used his personal experience with disability to guide the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living to a brighter and more accessible future. He talks about some new programs and initiatives underway to change that in our area with WEMU's David Fair.
