In this inspiring episode, Dr. Huntley welcomes Robyn Bussey, a self-described "health equitist" and Health Equity Director at the Partnership for Southern Equity (PSE). With deep roots in rural Georgia and a passion for amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, Robyn shares her personal journey from growing up as the daughter of a beloved rural public health nurse to leading innovative, community-driven health equity initiatives across the American South.
Robyn provides listeners with practical insights on building community trust, supporting maternal and reproductive health, and navigating today's complex public health landscape, especially in regions facing systemic barriers, hospital closures, and heightened political pressure. Through her work with the Just Health Academy and PSE, Robyn demonstrates what's possible when organizations and individuals come together to center communities and drive sustainable change from within.
Discover actionable strategies for advocating health equity, building community capacity, and finding purpose and resilience. Even when the odds seem stacked against them.
