Real talk: Atlanta food apartheid is a health emergency ๐Ÿšจ

Spent yesterday in Southwest Atlanta documenting food access:

  • 3 mile radius, 50,000+ residents
  • ZERO full-service grocery stores
  • 15+ fast food restaurants
  • Corner stores charging $4 for a banana

This isn't just inconvenience - it's structural violence.

But here's hope: Working with 5 community orgs on a mobile fresh market pilot. Fresh produce, SNAP/EBT accepted, nutrition education on-site.

Early results: 40% of participants report improved fruit/vegetable intake after 3 months.

Health equity isn't just healthcare - it's housing, transportation, food access, economic opportunity.

Welcome to Health Equity Innovation! ๐ŸŒŸ

As we build this community, I want to share what I've learned in 20+ years of health equity research:

Start with Community Voice: The most impactful innovations come from listening to those directly affected by health disparities.

Evidence + Empathy: Combine rigorous research with deep understanding of lived experiences.

Systems Thinking: Individual interventions matter, but systemic change creates lasting impact.

Looking forward to learning from all of you! What's one insight that has shaped your approach to health equity?
