{{First Name}}, health equity isn't a talking point for Charles. It's his life's work.
There's a difference between organizations that discuss health equity and people who live it. Charles has spent 37+ years in the emergency room — the place where every gap in our healthcare system shows up. He's treated patients who delayed care because they couldn't afford it, who didn't understand their diagnosis because no one explained it in their language, who arrived too late because the system wasn't built for them.
That experience didn't stay in the ER. It fuels everything he does online, on stage, and in community.

"I've seen what happens when people don't have access to the right information at the right time. That's why I do this. Not for the followers — for the families sitting in my ER who deserve better."
