#43: Find your cause, find your people: making a difference with health justice

Today’s episode features Tesiah Coleman, MSN, WHNP-BC, AGPCNP-BC, CLC

Tesiah Coleman (she/her) is the CEO and Founder of Togather, a collective care platform built by and for healthcare providers to reduce burnout and amplify the impact of those pursuing health justice. As a dually certified Women’s Health and Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, Doula, and Certified Lactation Counselor, Tesiah’s clinical practice has centered on women’s health and birth work, both in community-based health centers and virtually. Her focus on leveraging technology to create a better, more just healthcare system, has led her to a variety of roles including clinical leadership, operations, and product for early-stage health-tech companies. She currently works as a consultant with responsibilities spanning strategy, product development, and clinical curriculum design. In all her roles, Tesiah grounds her work in anti-racism, intersectionality, and liberation principles, while drawing from the diversity of her identities, lived experiences, and professional life to transform health care.
