I was, as a child, just observing my community and very interested in, like, Why do Black people have some of the worst health outcomes. And that was localized to my family at the time. So seeing family, family members get sick, remembering going to quite a few funerals of my family members as I was growing up. And I decided because I had a very limited view of careers that I would become a medical doctor one day, so I went to undergrad, and I was very committed to you know, I'm gonna become a medical doctor, I'm gonna go back, I'm going to be a healer. I clearly didn't understand medicine in the United States. And that wasn't sufficient; what I was learning and getting trained in just felt very shallow. I went to a predominantly white institution, and I didn't have the support; there really wasn't a sense of community, it was very competitive. And I felt like something was missing, something I couldn't like touch or articulate, but I knew something was missing. And someone introduced me to public health. And that felt like I was getting closer. Well, at the time, it felt almost revolutionary, because I didn't even know public health existed. And then, learning about public health, I applied for a graduate program. And still it's like, oh, health disparities, you know, that was the language at the time. And then we got closer with the language of health equity. But it still felt like it placed the blame on individuals, you know, Black folks, Black communities are sick, because they're Black. And that's just how it is, that was really public health 101. And I just kept thinking, like, there has to be something more for me to understand like, but why, how did we get here? Or how was this still the process? And learning about critical theories, intersectionality, then Black feminism, I started to see like there are underlying structures that over centuries, if not millennia, have caused us to be in this very position that we're in. And I started to use that Black feminist lens to really interrogate the whys, and then the hows. So if these structures create disadvantage, and distributed that among people racialized as Black and people of color, then what are the structures that can repair the harm that's been done?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567#t=36.0,187.0"},{"id":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567/transcript/94405/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Dartricia Rollins  \n\nWow. Thank you. And so my next question is, what is actually... Well, actually, actually, I think you actually answered it a significant moment in your platform, this journey that led you to Black feminism in particular. And what I think I hear you articulating is like growing up and experiencing these health disparities in your family, and attending these funerals, and you turning it into something actionable, Something that you want it to respond to. And so my next question is, what Black feminist future Are you building?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567#t=187.0,227.0"},{"id":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567/transcript/94405/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Rachel Logan Allen \n\nI think the couple of plenaries that I've heard today at Get Free have reaffirmed that the future has to include a very robust and diverse group of us, where those at the margins are brought into the center, that their concerns are prioritized. And that there's this sense of community. And so I guess, in my struggle to figure out where do I fit in this fight? What can I offer to the fight? How do I create community and create safety for myself? I have, in some ways, increased my network and in other ways, isolated myself for safety reasons. And so thinking differently about community and accountability, and bringing that into the space. I've definitely struggled with boundaries in the past. I think that is something that's very well connected to burnout, the lack of boundaries causes you to take on so much more than is your share to take that you burn out. And so what does community look like when I am my healthiest, best self, setting boundaries, holding boundaries, and then requiring that of other people? So that conversation of accountability that was brought up earlier. I would like to see me bring that and also, like, do that more.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567#t=227.0,317.0"},{"id":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567/transcript/94405/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Dartricia Rollins  \n\nThank you.

Because that is desperately needed. It's just something I've been saying over and over again, is, the United States is trying to forget about Florida. As I was talking to someone at my table, we were talking about how one of the speakers was using the word indictment, and how that was like grating to me because I'm like, oh, that carceral language. But I think that's what the United States is currently doing with Florida, is people feel like we should be punished because we're in this moment, where a lot of protections are being repealed. Black people aren't safe, queer people, trans people aren't safe. Poor people are on the chopping block. It's open season in Florida. But that's not all Florida is. And so a reproductive justice stance says that we can't forget about Florida if we all gonna get free. So bringing that up constantly. And I'm not a Floridian. I don't really claim Florida, I just reside there. But thinking about where are there times where I don't like something that's going on. And so what I want to do is cut that entity out, remove that entity discard that entity as opposed to saying, what can we do to restore? What is a restorative practice? So learning more about that and then again, doing that is the last thing I'd like to share.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567#t=329.0,413.0"},{"id":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567/transcript/94405/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Dartricia Rollins  \n\nThank you.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567#t=413.0,414.0"},{"id":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567/transcript/94405/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Rachel Logan Allen  \n\nThank you.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://georgiadusk.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3340/collection_resources/151058/file/278567#t=414.0,417.042"}]}]}]}
