Equity, Equality & Justice For All - 9781941859896

At its core, this memoir emphasizes the shared responsibility everyone has to advance equity, equality and justice for all. This memoir was inspired during Miller's tenure as California's first-ever health equity officer and leading advisor to Governor Jerry Brown on issues of health and mental health disparities. Building upon several years of professional leadership experiences in the field of health and human services, Mr. Miller's role as Deputy Director of California's Office of Health Equity was a tipping point in his life - a time where he was afforded a platform to affect change at the highest levels of state government. Such an opportunity could only have been dreamed of by his ancestors, and without the sacrifices of those that came before him, his story would not be possible. Therefore, Miller pays tribute and honors those who paved the way for him by documenting his powerful journey. As evidenced in this memoir, Miller's leadership is not confined to healthcare, as he shares stories that help readers understand that one's optimal health and wellbeing is not solely predicated on who their doctor might be or where they receive healthcare. Instead, it is heavily predicated on where a person lives, learns, works, plays and prays. These determinants of health carry the most importance in each person's life, and Miller weaves important themes into his personal memoir. Whether you are an academic, a high school student, graduate student, civil rights leader, aspiring healthcare executive or a policy maker, this book will resonate deeply with you.
