Equity for All: Empowering Maternal Health and Social Justice in Spokane’s Communities of Color

YWCA Spokane’s annual Equity for All event is set to focus on maternal health in communities of color this year. The event will feature performances from local artists and a panel of maternal health experts from the community, all committed to improving health outcomes for women and girls of color.

Amara Boyd, a high school junior from Spokane, will host the event, while award-winning diversity educator Shari Clarke will moderate. The panelists include Prosparetti Coleman, Monica Guzman, Symetria Gongyin, and Melodi Wynne, who are dedicated to promoting equity and social justice in their work.

The goal of Equity For All is to bring together passionate community members to advance equity and social justice through collaboration, learning, and sharing ideas. Through these efforts, the hope is to build a more inclusive and equitable community for everyone.

Local artists Alondra & Anna, Alethea Sharea Dumas, Sara Palmer-Janier, and Venessa Pete will also perform at the event. For more information about Equity4All including registration details and the full list of performers and panelists visit ywcaspokane.org/equity4all.
