The Coretta Scott & Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Annual Conversation

On Thursday, January 23rd at 7:00 PM, YWCA Greenwich and more than sixty community partners will host the 2025 Coretta Scott and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Annual Conversation. This event held each January celebrates the lives and legacy of Dr. King and his wife, Coretta Scott King by exploring an issue they would have cared about were they still with us.
This year’s conversation, titled “A Vital Conversation: Women’s Health Equity Forum,” will examine chronic disparities related to women’s health equity in our community and in the region. Our expert panelists will discuss how these inequities and barriers impact the lives of people based on gender, race, and other dimensions of identity.
Participating as expert panelists this year are Dr. Mia Kazanjian, Diagnostic Radiologist at Stamford Health; Dr. Romelle Maloney, Obstetrician-Gynecologist at Greenwich Hospital; Dr. Juliet Mushi, Obstetrician-Gynecologist at Harlem Hospital; and Fatmata Williams, Director of Medical Administration for the State of Connecticut’s Division of Health Services. Our panel will offer their expertise and solutions to women’s health equity, exploring maternal health, life expectancy, and healthcare access. In addition to the discussion, the YWCA Greenwich’s Center for Equity and Justice will be conducting a real time data gathering session to gage community attitudes and experiences with health inequity and how it impacts women of all backgrounds.
