Centro Comunitario de Salud de Greater New Bedford<\/a>. M\u00e1s tarde fue contratada por Southcoast Health, que le brind\u00f3 la oportunidad de implicarse m\u00e1s en la parte empresarial de la atenci\u00f3n sanitaria, que es lo que ella quer\u00eda. Est\u00e1 contenta con su nuevo puesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Se me brindan muchas oportunidades\", dijo. \"Se supone que debo estar aqu\u00ed. As\u00ed es como me siento\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michelle, caboverdiana-estadounidense de tercera generaci\u00f3n, naci\u00f3 y creci\u00f3 en New Bedford, donde sigue viviendo en el South End, no lejos de Fort Taber. Cri\u00f3 a su hija como madre soltera y disfruta siendo abuela de dos ni\u00f1os. Le gusta viajar, participar en actos culturales caboverdianos, pasear por el barrio, pasar tiempo con sus nietos y amigos y ver a sus equipos deportivos favoritos (\u00a1vamos Pats y Celtics!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Southcoast Health ofrece a las personas de color apoyo real y oportunidades de crecimiento, afirm\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"La vida puede ser dura para todos, pero es lo que t\u00fa haces de ella y lo que haces con tu tiempo. Hay oportunidades para todos\", afirm\u00f3. \"La equidad sanitaria es un problema mundial. Como sociedad, tenemos que valorar a todas las personas por igual. Para lograr la equidad sanitaria, debemos cambiar los sistemas y las pol\u00edticas que han dado lugar a las injusticias generacionales que originan las disparidades sanitarias raciales y \u00e9tnicas.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michelle est\u00e1 muy implicada con la comunidad caboverdiana local y agradece el \u00e9nfasis que pone el Mes de la Historia Negra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Estoy orgullosa de ser caboverdiana-estadounidense\", afirm\u00f3. \"Es muy importante para m\u00ed. Es lo que soy. Es lo que somos\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alg\u00fan d\u00eda, espera poder visitar Cabo Verde, donde nunca ha estado, pero donde siente una fuerte conexi\u00f3n con su propio pasado y el de su familia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Est\u00e1 en mi lista de deseos\", dice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
