About
Throughout the last several years, it has become more and more apparent that our country has historically excluded people of color from having equal opportunities in health care, education, employment, and justice. Unfortunately, the effects of America's past continue to affect brown and black individuals. Therefore, change is imperative in order to "level the playing field!"
Move to Make a Difference
As movement specialists, we have the opportunity to partner our passion for movement with our passion for change. Last year, we were rocked to our core by the images of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor and we felt something had to be done. We worked together to come up with a tangible way for anyone inspired by our cause to take action alongside us. In an effort to make a difference in the fight to protect and advance the rights of our fellow coworkers, friends, and patients, we set out to Move to Make a Difference! We were able to raise and donate over $6,000 to the Houston Area Urban League in an effort to effect change.
