As a leader in the medical field, she has seen the transformation of healthcare as women increasingly take on roles of influence and authority. Dr. Saund shares her insights on the importance of strong female representation in healthcare, the unique challenges she has faced as a woman of colour, and the invaluable lessons she has learned along the way.

Her advice to her younger self? "Don’t be so hard on yourself! You’re going to make mistakes, and that’s part of the process. Learn from them, grow, and leave them in the past. Also, life is short. Make every effort to be present. Take breaks, enjoy the little things, and surround yourself with people who lift you up."

Claudia Barning, the Program Director of the Mental Health and Addictions Program immigrated to Canada from Ghana with her family as a child. Her journey to Canada was both exciting and challenging as they navigated a new culture while establishing a sense of belonging.

On Black Mental Health Day, Claudia stresses that mental health education should be woven into daily practices, not just discussed during Black History Month.

"Mental Health awareness and education should be woven into our daily practice, and not just a topic of discussion during Black History Month. Service delivery models and the lack of culturally appropriate resources to help mitigate health inequity, economic insecurity and racism within the Black community needs to remain a priority at all levels."

We spoke with Claudia to gain insights into her personal journey and the mental health challenges faced by individuals.

Meet Jelesa Alexander, Registration & Admitting Clerk in the Emergency Department, and advocate for sickle cell awareness.

At just 13 years old, Jelesa was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia, a genetic blood disorder that causes red blood cells to become rigid and crescent-shaped, blocking blood flow and leading to pain, fatigue, and serious complications.

“I am personally committed to increasing awareness of sickle cell disease, motivated by my own experiences of being frequently ill and misdiagnosed. I never want anyone else to go through what I did, so I try to spread awareness to ensure people with sickle cell disease can receive the best care possible.”

We sat down with Jelesa to hear her story and understand what motivates her to advocate for change.
