Dr. Jennifer D. Roberts is an active living, health equity, and truth telling scholar who draws on history to expose, understand and dismantle the health disparities and social injustices that marginalized populations and communities of color endured over generations.
Her lived experience and observation of racialization have embodied and informed her approach to scientific discovery and ultimately to her quest for an antiracist society where the basic human rights of health, equity, and justice are no longer denied.
