Built to Lead - The Health Leaders of Tomorrow Podcast

Rebels with a Cause: Exploring the Element of Diversity Part 1.

Our cohosts, Mobeen and Matthew are joined by Dr. Roberta Timothy in this episode about diversity – the first of the five elements required of “good rebels” to create positive change.

In part 1 of this conversation, Dr. Timothy discusses what is means to be anti-racist and anti-oppressive as a leader of change and how health leaders can cultivate this thinking in their work as they take action to create change in our health system.

Dr. Timothy is the Black Health lead at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, and founder of the Masters of Public Health in Black Health, who started its inaugural cohort in September of 2023. For her work, she has been named a Top 25 women of influence in 2022, and winner of the Doris Anderson award in 2021. 

Dr. Timothy strives for justice through efforts of decolonization, especially in the world of healthcare and social determinants of health. She has over 30 years of experience working in frontline community health, conduction her work through an anti-racist and anti-oppression lens. She is also a co-founder of Continuing Healing Consultants, where she has trained many practitioners in Anti-Oppression psychotherapy.
