Dr. Ibrahim’s blog, A Surgeon’s Journey Through Research & Design describes a life “at the intersection of health and architecture” during the COVID19 pandemic. If you have also found yourself at an intersection – of faith and a commitment to becoming anti-racist – these past few weeks, this chart may inspire you to explore, grow and deepen that very personal journey.

It is impossible to work on “Redesigning Healthcare” and “Health in All Design” without the lens and context of Race.
