From navigating life as Black and Samoan, to reclaiming culture, challenging anti-Blackness, and uplifting Pacific Islander stories in San Francisco, Dr. Burch shares what it means to turn invisibility into visibility, and pain into purpose 💡📖

This episode dives into underrepresentation, systemic disparities, and the urgent need for Black and Pacific Islander solidarity, all grounded in radical love, dignity, and self-determination ❤️🌍
