After listening to ARCC's new episode, George Floyd Four Years Later—What’s Changed? I resonated with Tiffani Daniels's idea that progress in this country often comes from tragedy.

After the murder of George Floyd, companies took to social media with bold announcements, pledging nearly $50 billion to anti-racism efforts across the United States. It’s been over four years, and corporate America has yet to make good on these promises.

It feels like a cyclical, painful story we are living through: when will we be removed from this cycle of violence? When will it end? When will we have to stop hearing reports about murders? When will innocent lives be free from subjugation to the random biased will of a police officer?

In 2004, President Barack Obama delivered a speech titled “The Audacity of Hope.” In this speech, he starts by reminding Americans that our founding document states that all men are created equal.

Over the past week, I have completed the onboarding process for my internship at ARCC. There were a couple of things that stuck out to me. Specifically, I enjoyed listening to “The ARCC of Change” podcast.

I’m proud to be involved with the ARCC, especially after the first week on the job was up. I started this summer with a talk with Donzel Leggett, and I immediately felt a respect for the man and his drive for the values of the ARCC.

This week, after exploring the ARCC’s website and content I learned how prevalent ethnicity bias is in organizations. One way we may see this is with organized sports.

In my exploration of the ARCC's content for my onboarding for my Summer Internship position at the ARCC one episode of the ARCC's podcast, "The ARCC of Change” resonated with me.

My grandfather always said, “they can take everything, but they can’t take your education.” As a Palestinian, holding onto as much knowledge as possible was instilled in me as essential to survival.

As an Emory student, healthcare has been at the forefront of my mind regardless of how seemingly removed my endeavors are from the field. So when I first came across ARCC’s blog post on medical racism, it immediately piqued my interest.
