Teresa is committed to enriching public health via equity and justice initiatives.
"People are getting away with crimes, people are literally getting away with taking lives in emergency rooms and labor rooms; the amount of black women that die during childbirth... outrageous. And there's no accountability whatsoever, because we don't want to cancel them or hurt their feelings."
