Living into a Childhood Commitment: A Conversation with Cyndi Suarez and Kaytura Felix (Winter 2022)

“When I saw patients in Washington Heights, in New York City, Black and Brown people would  come in about their blood pressure—they were worried about the violence in their communities, they were worried about their grandchildren in jail. It was the violence in the streets, it was the family problems they were having that consumed them…….. So, what I’ve been really concerned with is working upstream……… Upstream is where small, just actions can have big impacts on many people.”
