It’s important to do your homework, but also know when you’re not the expert and when to lean on local voices.

The reason why I love working in global health is that we’re able to demonstrate the benefit to populations that we work with. Benefit and impact are slightly different. Impact, to me, is neutral, but if you focus on prioritizing benefit, then you’re really thinking about those values of diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-colonialism, anti-racism, because you’re driving towards that positive outcome.

It’s not enough to come together in reaction to a crisis. We need systems-level change where science, business, government, and philanthropic leaders think and act more holistically as the norm. Only then can we find a better balance between human advancement and sustaining the health of our planet.
