I guess someone let me know if that looks off, otherwise I will move ahead. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen, so you could see the PowerPoint. Roberts for the introduction, and for the AMA for the invitation to present to you all. We'll be monitoring them and we'll share them with the panel for discussion. Please submit your questions, thoughts, insights via the Q&A function on your Zoom panel.

He actually is at an American Academy of Pediatrics Pride Month event that he is leading. Harris is actually wearing two hats tonight and doing some double duty.

He is a past president of GLMA and was a member of the commission to end health care disparities.

Green established the first COVID-19 testing centers on Chicago's South and West sides, and continues her COVID work in five citywide vaccination sites via a mobile unit. Her client panels include pediatric and adolescent patients, adults who speak Spanish and American sign language, and people who experience substance use disorder. Green is a proud South side Chicagoan, a former private and public school educator, and a family medicine and HIV medicine specialist. Maya Green, MD, MPH, is a fellow member of the AMA Advisory Committee on LGBTQ Issues, and is the Howard Brown Health Regional Medical Director for communities on the South and West sides of Chicago. In addition to multiple peer reviewed and institution published reports, she co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Lesbian Studies, that featured a multi-disciplinary collection of work on health and other topics from the perspectives of Black lesbians in the United States, Caribbean and South Africa. Wilson's research focuses primarily on system-involved LGBTQ youth, LGBT poverty and sexual health among queer women. Bianca Wilson, PhD, is the Rabbi Zacky Senior Scholar of Public Policy at the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute. To lead our discussion, I'm pleased to introduce our panelists.

Recognizing that we all come to equity and justice with potentially different life experiences and levels of understanding, our discussion this evening includes data and demographics, experiences and voices and openness and authenticity. Our AMA strategic plan to embed racial justice and advance health equity sets forth a dedicated, coordinated and honest approach, and recognizing that getting to equity and justice means centering and integrating the voices and ideas of the historically marginalized, and leveraging change via relationships and networks, data and research, communication, education, and policy and advocacy. I'm pleased to be joining you and our speakers today, as we explore the intersection of race, sexual orientation and gender identity, and what that means for the health and well-being of Americans who identify as both Black and LGBTQ. I practice obstetrics and gynecology in the quad cities, serving patients on the Illinois and Iowa border. And in the past, I've served as the Medical Student Section for the AMA. LeAnne Roberts, a member of the AMA Advisory Committee on LGBTQ Issues, where I serve as the GLMA representative. Roberts: On behalf of the American Medical Association and our Minority Affairs Section and Advisory Committee on LGBTQ Issues, welcome everybody and good evening.
