Linda Villarosa is a brilliant storyteller. In addition to her work as a journalist, author, editor, and educator, she's a New York Times Magazine contributing writer where she covers race, inequality and health. You may have come across her 2018 cover story for the magazine titled 'Why America's Black mothers and babies are in a life or death crisis,' which was nominated for a national magazine award.It was that article that first prompted us to reach out with Linda to participate in a Mission Forward. She returns to us today because of a story she recently published called 'Black Lives are Shorter in Chicago: My family's history shows why.' Reading that story, a very personal account of her own family's journey through Chicago transports the reader through time, while reinforcing some of the most essential public health issues of our time.As you'll hear in this episode, this country has turned an important corner on the fight against COVID, a fight to return some semblance of life as we once knew it, with an approach of equality. But we do not suffer, nor do we heal equally. This is a fight which must be waged equitably, acknowledging the decidedly unequal contributions to our collective suffering shouldered by Black and Brown people in this country.Linda Villarosa is uniquely experienced to help Carrie Fox and Natalie S. Burke navigate this conversation, confronting just how far our public health system has to go on issues of equity and inclusivity.
Way back in season one, we introduced you to Natalie S. Burke, founder of Common Health Action. This week, we want to amplify that conversation. Natalie has a way of incisively approaching the most challenging questions that fuel her advocacy. She is a leader in an incisive, aware, and focused journey toward equity, diversity, and inclusion. But it is a disruptive journey, and wherever we're going, we have to reckon with a central question: how does racism harm us all? We reference this episode often around Mission Partners with our clients and colleagues, and given how relevant it remains in today's world, and just how precise Natalie is in her approach to the work ahead for all of us, we thought you might appreciate hearing it with fresh ears, too. Natalie's efforts to create what she calls “constructive discomfort” go a long way toward helping us all adapt to the pain that can come through learning and change. When we can face our discomfort in trust, we all win through transformation.New for 2022You will find all past episodes and new opportunities to become founding members of Mission Forward, along with early access to future shows at missionforward.us.

When we set out to produce season three of Mission Forward, we wanted to document this season of what we called perspective-shifting conversations. We wanted to touch on faith. We wanted to touch on media. We wanted to touch on the economy and the role of philanthropy in building back from a period of such damage from the impact of COVID-19. Right now, we're seeing members of our own communities acting out, engaging in behaviors that are disheartening, partly as a manifestation of what we have all had to sacrifice to the pandemic, partly in fearful anxiety of sacrifices yet to come. And yet, through it all, we leave this season in a spirit of optimism. It's the same optimism that comes from having conquered a hard thing, having wrestled with difficult ideas and made it to the other side. We have we have explored such difficult ideas this season and we are buoyed with the energy our guests bring to their own efforts for change. This week, we share a review of lessons learned from each of these guests as reflected by hosts Carrie Fox and Natalie S. Burke. If you haven't had the opportunity to listen to these conversations in full, we encourage you to do so, and to share with your communities broadly. Our deepest thanks to Natalie Burke for her participation this season, leveraging her experience as a leader in public health to guide and frame our discussions in this space. She is a tireless advocate and we are exceptionally lucky to be in her orbit. Please click through to learn more about her and the work of CommonHealth ACTION — this is an organization worth knowing.To all, thank you for subscribing, downloading, listening, and sharing this show. It is our great honor to produce it and to play even a small part in your podcast universe and we'll be back next season for more Mission Forward.

“It was an experience that we could never have imagined…”That's been a consistent refrain in and around our country since the early days of this COVID-19 pandemic. "I could never have imagined living through COVID.” “I could never have imagined the number of lives that would be lost.” “I could never have imagined the toll this pandemic would take on Black lives."And yet, the writing was on the wall. As our world has become increasingly global, the spread of disease has become more likely, and the effects were bound to hit the most under-resourced communities the hardest. Add to that the role that social determinants play in the health of our communities, and we have to ask, “how could we not have seen this coming?”There's an old saying that “when white folks catch a cold, Black folks get pneumonia.” It's often shared in the context of economic health, but in the time of COVID, it is even more resonant. And so this season, we're digging in to how COVID-19 has affected us; how it's affected our communities, our relationships, our understanding of the world around us, and of each other.Along for our journey this season is the brilliant Natalie S. Burke, founder of CommonHealth ACTION and a true equity evangelist. Together, Carrie and Natalie will dig in to issues of public health through the lens of communication, connection, and of course, equity. We'll explore how COVID has changed us, and where we go from here.This is going to be a season of perspective-shifting conversations that will touch on faith, media, the economic recovery, and the role of philanthropy. We start this week with a big picture conversation with Natalie.You won't want to miss this one.

Humans are compelled to be together. It is the most basic and essential element needed for our survival, our future, and our health as a society. COVID-19 changed how we are together. What has this time done for who we are, how we work, what we value, and what we believe to be true? In season three of Mission Forward, we're exploring the state of our collective health in the wake of the pandemic and what's necessary to bring us back together. We talk with experts, truth tellers, and firebrands who work and move among us to see what lies at the intersections of identity, value, and power. This season, host Carrie Fox welcomes Natalie S. Burke, president of Common Health Action, public health expert, and equity evangelist as co-host to explore how people, communities, and entire sectors are rewriting what being in relationship looks like.

Last week, we introduced you to Natalie Burke, founder of CommonHealth ACTION, by way of a three-year-old interview on health equity. Since then, her advocacy has taken many turns and become more incisive, more aware, more focused on the disruptive journey toward equity, diversity, and inclusion.Natalie is back with us today for a conversation that addresses one central question: how does racism harm us all? It’s a deceivingly simple question that is achingly difficult to answer. Natalie’s efforts to create what she calls “constructive discomfort” goes a long way toward helping us all adapt to the pain that can come through learning and change. When we can face our discomfort in trust we all win through transformation.Links & NotesCommon Health ActionFollow Natalie S. Burke on Medium
This week on Mission Forward, we bring you a conversation from 2017 with two guests who boldly challenge assumptions we hold in our everyday lives. They stand unafraid to say the things many of us think, using their words and ideas as waves cresting in and over us, then receding, laying bare our understanding of ourselves and how we relate to the world around us a little more clearly.We start with a reading from The Alternative: Most of What You Believe About Poverty Is Wrong by the author, Mauricio Miller. Miller has leveraged his experience in poverty — and as founder of the Family Independence Initiative — into a book that addresses the issues of poverty with audacity and courage and we love that we captured some of the words from the author’s mouth.Natalie S. Burke is the founder of CommonHealth ACTION and if you aren’t following her writing on Medium, then you’re not following her writing yet. Since this conversation in 2017, her work has only become more incisive, more aware, more focused on the disruptive journey toward equity, diversity, and inclusion.Join us for this conversation that presses on our existing charitable organizations, privilege, and oppression, and what we can do together to change our values.Recorded live at our 2017 April Mission Forward Convening.Links & NotesThe Alternative: Most of What You Believe About Poverty is Wrong by Mauricio L.

This show is a must listen for Black women of every age. On it, we discuss the pay gap that is a reality for many of us and how not getting paid what we deserve impacts both our careers and our lives. We are joined by Natalie S. Burke, President & CEO of CommonHealth ACTION, who shares her insights on how Black women, whether they are entrepreneurs or in a corporate setting need to look at negotiations as well as compensation discussions. The impact of accepting less than we deserve has on other women coming behind us and how we should consider what value we bring to organizations above all us. She also offers advice for young women entering the workplace and makes a strong case for bringing your whole self to work.
What does poverty, discrimination, racism, unemployment, housing, education and safe neighborhoods have to do with your health? How come your zip code can help determine if you have a chance of living a healthy life? Why don't all people have the same opportunity to be healthy? Why is there disparity in health equity? The Robert Woods Johnson Foundation defines health equity as "everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be healthy". We explore the barriers to health equity with Natalie S. Burke, President and CEO of CommonHealth Action, a national public health organization that creates solutions to health and policy challenges.
