Radical, irrational hope.

Resharing this inspirational word from Nikole Hannah-Jones on what is a historical day in American history with so many firsts.

There is no stronger voice we have and no civic duty greater than the vote.

May we carry the inspiration and resilience that hope brings in all we do to better our communities so they thrive and live their healthiest lives possible.

The house that ABGH has built.

We’re still recovering from an epic night that was The B.I.G. Event - Nashville! A 5th birthday party for the ages. 🎉

In the dopest venue, filled with the rich history of our music and its historical significance, The National Museum of African American Music housed over 200 of us for an unforgettable evening. We networked, expressed our gratitude for our growing community of Black GIs and hepatologists, and celebrated unapologetically for how far we’ve come.

We are so grateful to our membership, our industry sponsors, and our allies for showing up as their authentic selves Monday night.

A B.I.G. Thank You to our Presenting Sponsor, Takeda, for their continued faith in us, and all of our event sponsors, for their continued faith in us and belief in our vision!
