Centro de Sa\u00fade Comunit\u00e1rio de Greater New Bedford<\/a>. Mais tarde, foi contratada pela Southcoast Health, o que lhe deu a oportunidade de se envolver mais no sector empresarial dos cuidados de sa\u00fade, que era o que ela queria. Est\u00e1 satisfeita com o seu novo cargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Tenho muitas oportunidades\", disse ela. \"\u00c9 suposto eu estar aqui. \u00c9 assim que me sinto.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michelle, uma cabo-verdiana-americana de terceira gera\u00e7\u00e3o, nasceu e cresceu em New Bedford, onde ainda vive no South End, n\u00e3o muito longe de Fort Taber. Criou a sua filha como m\u00e3e solteira e gosta de ser av\u00f3 de dois rapazes. Gosta de viajar, participar em eventos culturais cabo-verdianos, passear pelo bairro, passar tempo com os netos e amigos e ver as suas equipas desportivas favoritas (Go Pats e Celtics!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Southcoast Health oferece \u00e0s pessoas de cor um verdadeiro apoio e oportunidades de crescimento, afirmou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"A vida pode ser dura para toda a gente, mas \u00e9 o que fazemos dela e o que fazemos com o nosso tempo. H\u00e1 oportunidades para todos\", afirmou. \"A equidade na sa\u00fade \u00e9 uma quest\u00e3o global. Enquanto sociedade, temos de valorizar todas as pessoas por igual. Para alcan\u00e7ar a equidade na sa\u00fade, temos de mudar os sistemas e as pol\u00edticas que resultaram nas injusti\u00e7as geracionais que d\u00e3o origem a disparidades raciais e \u00e9tnicas na sa\u00fade.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michelle est\u00e1 profundamente envolvida com a comunidade cabo-verdiana local e est\u00e1 grata pela \u00eanfase que o M\u00eas da Hist\u00f3ria Negra proporciona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Tenho orgulho em ser cabo-verdiana-americana\", disse ela. \"\u00c9 muito importante para mim. \u00c9 o que eu sou. \u00c9 o que n\u00f3s somos.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Um dia, espera poder visitar Cabo Verde, onde nunca esteve, mas onde sente uma forte liga\u00e7\u00e3o com o seu pr\u00f3prio passado e o da sua fam\u00edlia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Est\u00e1 na minha lista de desejos\", disse ela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
