#MoreThanAMoment

I created the #MoreThanAMoment campaign during Black History Month in an effort to increase recognition of diverse membership at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO). This campaign was designed to acknowledge Black people from the past associated with gynecologic oncology like Henrietta Lacks and related topics like menstruation. It was also intended to give voice to modern Black leaders in gynecologic oncology.

The development of this campaign included research of statistics that reflect Black childbirth mortality, Black mistrust of the medical system, restricted medical access of Black patients, and physician failure to recommend follow up appointments and clinical trial participation to Black patients.

Campaign development also included drafting relevant questions and conducting interviews with Black gynecologic oncologists who offered critical insights about health equity, creating a more inclusive medical landscape, and enacting policies that combat racism within the medical system and beyond.
