People of color face barriers in healthcare every day, and my goal was to address one of these barriers. Healthcare settings stock products that are tailored for Caucasian hair and skin, so I wanted to add products targeted for Black patients' skin and hair. I added shampoo and lotion to the supply closet of Peyton Manning Children's Hospital as well as bonnets and durags for the patients to wrap their hair in to protect it while they sleep or rest. African American hair and skin requires different care. This is something that often goes unnoticed by healthcare professionals, and I wanted to bring it to their attention. In order to support the Black Lives Matter movement, I chose products from black-owned businesses. I felt that the BLM movement was the heart and inspiration for this project, so choosing products from black-owned businesses felt appropriate.

Each minute, a woman dies from breast cancer somewhere in the world. The first and most important tool a woman needs to have to win a fight against this disease is the education to identify breast cancer symptoms as early as possible. Laini Fluellen Charities, Inc. (LFC) is an organization dedicated to aiding women in the fight of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a highly aggressive form of breast cancer that characteristically affects young women, has fewer treatment options, and results in lower survival rates overall. Laini Fluellen combats TNBC by representing those most disproportionally affected: young African American and Hispanic women. LCF leads the fight by promoting awareness through education and funding further research for a cure. TNBC is two times as likely to likely to be found in African American women, which also contributes greatly to survival disparities. Similarly, nearly 40% of African American and Hispanic women diagnosed with breast cancer are diagnosed with TNBC, in comparison to 15% of women from other ethnic groups. Most startlingly, African American women have a 42% higher rate of death than from breast cancer then women in other ethnic groups. This makes the already impossible statistics cited above even more dire, and yet still, all of the difficulties faced by women vulnerable to TNBC have not been illustrated. Laini Fluellen Charities have been raising funds to further research about these facts, and develop more treatment options for TNBC. LFC has been providing spiritual and educational support through seminars, awareness campaigns, and website resources, and facilitating care coordination and navigation services for women at high risk for developing breast cancer since 2009; directly serving northwest Indiana and our PNW community. LFC works tirelessly to aid all women in combating TNBC, and places a special focus on improving health outcomes for Hispanic and African American women and working against racial disproportions. This reflection details my experience helping LFC further their work in aiding research, writing grants for the cause, and putting on their first virtual TNBC awareness fundraiser gala, with a special focus on the efforts we completed together to work with Know your Lemons (KYL). KYL is a global breast health network offering resources for a cure. By working together, we have been able to help others overcome the fear associated with breast cancer, and teach in impactful ways that are completely inclusive of gender, age, ethnicity, and background. The reflection illustrates how this work has empowered the educators, students, and the community.
在世界上的某个地方，每分钟就有一名妇女死于乳腺癌。妇女要战胜这种疾病需要的第一个也是最重要的工具是尽早识别乳腺癌症状的教育。Laini Fluellen慈善公司(LFC)是一个致力于帮助女性对抗三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)的组织，TNBC是一种高度侵袭性的乳腺癌，主要影响年轻女性，治疗选择较少，总体存活率较低。莱尼·弗鲁伦(Laini Fluellen)通过代表受影响最严重的群体——年轻的非裔美国人和西班牙裔女性——与TNBC作斗争。LCF通过教育和资助进一步的治疗研究来提高人们的认识，从而领导这场斗争。非裔美国女性患TNBC的可能性是非裔美国女性的两倍，这也在很大程度上造成了生存差异。同样，在被诊断患有乳腺癌的非裔美国人和西班牙裔女性中，近40%被诊断患有三阴癌，而其他族裔女性的这一比例为15%。最令人吃惊的是，非裔美国女性的乳腺癌死亡率比其他种族的女性高42%。这使得上述已经不可能的统计数据更加可怕，然而，易受TNBC影响的妇女所面临的所有困难仍未得到说明。莱尼Fluellen慈善机构一直在筹集资金，以进一步研究这些事实，并为TNBC开发更多的治疗方案。自2009年以来，LFC一直通过研讨会、宣传活动和网站资源提供精神和教育支持，并为乳腺癌高风险妇女提供护理协调和导航服务;直接服务于印第安纳州西北部和PNW社区。LFC孜孜不倦地帮助所有妇女防治TNBC，并特别注重改善西班牙裔和非洲裔美国妇女的健康状况，并努力消除种族比例失调。本文详细介绍了我帮助利物浦进一步开展工作的经历，包括协助研究、为慈善事业撰写资助、举办他们的第一个虚拟TNBC意识筹款晚会，并特别关注我们与Know your Lemons (KYL)共同完成的工作。KYL是一个提供治疗资源的全球乳房健康网络。通过共同努力，我们能够帮助其他人克服与乳腺癌相关的恐惧，并以完全包容性别、年龄、种族和背景的有影响力的方式进行教学。反思说明了这项工作如何赋予教育工作者、学生和社区权力。

EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service) is a service-learning design program run through Purdue University. It strives to teach students design skills through providing solutions for individuals, communities, and organizations in the surrounding area while mirroring engineering industry standards. BME (Bio-medical Engineering) is a team within EPICS that strives to serve community partners through biomedical applications. Members of a health care team often spend valuable time organizing cables associated with machines used to take patients’ vital signs. Due to time constraints and the fast-paced work environment, these cables may be mismanaged and damaged. The BME team is working on a solution to ensure that relevant cords will be easily managed, damage will be minimized, and most importantly, health care professionals’ time will be saved.

Individuals with disabilities account for 26% of Americans and 14% of public education students. This minority group may not only deal with physical and/or mental impairments but also negative societal misunderstandings and attitudes that may lead to decreased friendships and increased social exclusion. Awareness and knowledge about disabilities can play a role in changing people’s attitudes towards disabilities and aid in creating a more positive and inclusive environment. Researchers have found that disability awareness programs in schools can positively teach young children to build positive attitudes about disabilities. In our program, a group of doctoral students helped young children in a local preschool and an elementary school to learn about disabilities through age-appropriate activities. This program collaborated with community partners to design, modify, and decide on activities for each age group. This program was delivered to 80 young children between the ages of two to Seven. Feedback from both schools showed that students gained a better understanding of disability and how to appropriately interact with people with disabilities.
