OCT 19- The City Talks: Equity in Wellness
This fall, the Presidential Obama Portraits will be on display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (September 3 – October 30). Inspired by “The Obama Portraits Tour” and honoring Michelle Obama’s legacy of prioritizing the mental and physical well-being of all Americans—especially young people and people of color—this event discusses issues of wellness in Boston’s marginalized communities.

The event program includes a panel discussion with city leaders who have made an impact in the wellness industry:
- Dr. Anouska Bhattacharyya, Vice President of Programs, YW Boston
- Ashley Mitchell, Founder of the Courage Campaign
- Lisa Simmons, Director of the Roxbury International Film Festival
- Heather White, Founder and CEO of TrillFit
This event is presented in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The City Talks: Equity in Wellness is a free event open to the public.
