“At Gilead, we are all about thinking through how we can not just have a transactional conversation and engagement with community, but really, a transformative one, and so this conference, for us, is all about widening the table,” Gilead Sciences Senior Director Omoro Omoighe said. “We believe that communities have the solutions for the challenges that face them, especially black women. We’ve been pioneering homegrown solutions to our health challenges, political challenges, social challenges. This is about really wiping the table saying, ‘Come have a seat, come talk to us about what you need,’ and really giving them the stage to amplify what they need, and giving the company a chance to also partner to think through ways that we can keep that support going in an intentional and a long-term way.”
