" "I am thrilled to be a Millennium Fellow because it empowers me to amplify my voice, work with like minds and mobilize collective action for the health and wellbeing of marginalized communities. I do this work. I believe that everyone deserves equitable access to healthcare and opportunities to thrive because I believe that health is the cornerstone for any development.
