White House Fellows
It’s been a good week. I found out I was appointed to be a part of the 2009-2010 Class of White House Fellows on Thursday and I have been receiving so many kind messages from loved ones all weekend. (To learn more please check out the official press release.)
I am excited about moving to D.C. and being a part of a historic administration. I plan on soaking up all I can regarding how policy change works and listening in on as many conversations as I can find myself in. Will keep you posted on all I learn.
In the meantime, there is a great Gordon Parks quote I will leave you with:
“There’s another horizon out here, one more horizon that you have to make for yourself and let other people discover it, and someone else will take it further on, you know.”
I am an Ethiopian- American public health physician that is using oral histories to teach about health. I have been listening to stories as a public health practitioner for a long time and as a physician for the past six years. In medicine, there is a true moral compass that points north. These stories are meant only to serve the patient. This blog is my attempt at documenting the stories that have the potential to teach how to heal for us all.
