Just Do It
Just Do It
|
Reverend Gloria Elaine White-Hammond, M.D. |
A co-pastor of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Boston and a pediatrician at the South End Community Health Center, Gloria White-Hammond confronts the issue of child abuse and neglect from multiple perspectives, including: as a devoted professional working to promote health and healing among children from some of Boston's most vulnerable communities; and as a humanitarian striving to address and redress the problem of the modern-day enslavement of southern Sudan's women and children. Her sense of urgency, however, comes from another critical source — as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. In Just Do It, Dr. White-Hammond shares her personal journey from victim to victor. She reflects on the public culture that facilitates the ongoing victimization of children, emphasizing the need to confront this issue on policy and programmatic levels and for advocates to take heart in their efforts to tackle child abuse and neglect. |
