social epidemiology to combat unjust residential evictions

Peace! I'm Dr. Shawnita Sealy-Jefferson, and it is my complete honor to lead the Social Epidemiology to Combat Unjust Residential Evictions (SECURE) study!  I am a highly sensitive person, INFJ, and proud native & resident Detroiter. I am committed to my responsibility to do my part to create the world we deserve, in community, through values-aligned action, and with excellence. The SECURE project, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is rooted in HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT and BLACK LIVES MATTER! The purpose of this study is to quantify the magnitude and severity of court-ordered and illegal residential evictions and their relationship with the health of Black families in Metro-Detroit, Michigan. My vision for this project is to co-create and co-lead the work with Black women, to amplify the voices and experiences of Black Metro-Detroiters, and to help intervene on the systems of oppression that limit our full-potential, opportunities, and joy. We need your partnership to make housing justice a reality. There's no cavalry coming to save us, we're it!
