Pandemic or not, Angela Patton believes in the futures of black girls

PHOTO: Girls for Change

ZOE HALL For 20 years, Girls For a Change has helped girls of color find success in a world still plagued with inequality. Angela Patton refuses to let a pandemic get the way of their futures.

Angela Patton, chief executive

officer for Girls For A Change, got an email notification. It was from a Camp Diva camper — an organization that empowers teen girls — thanking her for putting her picture on the Camp Diva flyer.

“That’s a victory today!” she said.

Right now, the venue where Camp Diva meets is empty. Patton and her

staff make regular visits to maintain the mural-covered building, which is located in North Chesterfield. The space, equipped with a garden and meditation rooms, is designed to be a safe escape for girls who need it.

Patton knows how important it is to have a safe space. She knows what it’s like to move to the

suburbs and experience racism from neighbors, and later, colleagues. At Girls For A Change, Patton leads a variety of programs that give young girls, especially Black girls and other girls of color, the tools they need to break through the glass ceiling — or more accurately, concrete ceiling — and make space for themselves. 95 percent of the girls who participate in GFAC are Black.

“That’s why they need these spaces,” Patton said. “To build that muscle, so that when they do have to face a principle, or face that boss, or the person who’s gonna give you the loan for your first entrepreneurial endeavor… you know how to advocate for yourself better than anyone else in this world. That’s the goal.”

Two of GFAC’s programs are now virtual. The Girl Action Teams, an opportunity for girls to collaborate and create policy change of their own, now exist in a “one and done” format. GFAC publishes individual video sessions via newsletter, each with different themes. In a recent session, “It’s My Hair and That’s Why You Should Care,” the discussion centered on the evolution of what Black people have had to endure with their hair, and what girls would like to change about it.

“What’s really fun is sometimes boys hop on there!” said Patton.

“We’re not pulling them away, because he probably could learn something that day, too.”

The Girl Ambassador Program is also continuing virtually. Patton

Empowering students in the biomedical sciences A student working in a laboratory.

While working on his undergraduate biology degree at VCU, Nisan Hubbard learned about the Center on Health Disparities' Initiative for Maximizing Student Development Scholars Program.

In the program, Hubbard’s love for research blossomed — along with a newfound love of teaching.

Recent statistics strongly suggest that our society is missing a lot of potential talent in the science and engineering professions. And it has been — for years.

The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics reported just last year that certain minorities, including African Americans, Hispanics and people with disabilities, remain underrepresented in science and engineering professions and as recipients of science and engineering degrees. Black students earned only about 9% of the biomedical doctoral degrees awarded in the U.S. in 2017, and Hispanic or Latino students earned about 15 percent.

Since 2010, Virginia Commonwealth University has been home to a set of research and training programs designed to address these disparities and to tap that missing potential. Housed in the School of Medicine’s Center on Health Disparities, these programs train future biomedical researchers at the undergraduate, graduate, postbaccalaureate and postdoctoral levels.

VCU is one of only two institutions in the U.S. to offer these programs at all levels of higher education, thanks to three grants that the university has maintained for more than a decade. Since the programs began, a total of $12.9 million has been awarded, serving more than 180 students and having a larger ripple effect as these students go on to teach the next generation of biomedical researchers.

The latest grant, $2.5 million awarded last year by the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences, ensures that the

Hubbard calls Suzanne Barbour one of his “science moms” in recognition of the value of her mentorship during his time at VCU and now at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where he is a postdoctoral fellow and she is a professor of biochemistry and biophysics.

Lloyd dreams of getting more Lloyd said that when she first

talked with other faculty members about creating programs to help train underrepresented biomedical scientists, she wasn’t thinking big enough. She credits Suzanne Barbour, Ph.D., who was a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the time, with having the more ambitious vision of a set of programs that could support students at all levels of study. Lloyd said Barbour was instrumental in identifying a place in the medical school that could house the programs together, recognizing the value of making it easy for participants at all levels to connect for networking and mentorship.

The Center on Health Disparities was focused at the time on research and community engagement, but its mission aligned with that of the research and training programs. It soon became a leader in addressing disparities among scientists who work in health-related fields.

The VCU six-year graduation rates for African American and Hispanic undergraduates already exceeds national averages: 63 percent for African American students and 64 percent for Hispanic students, compared with 40 percent and 54 perfect, respectively. However, the Center on Health Disparities’ program for undergraduates goes far beyond that. Ninety-eight percent of participants in that program, who also are from underrepresented groups, have earned a bachelor’s degree.

The center’s programs boast a range of impressive results. Twelve out of 14 postdoctoral trainees have entered tenure-eligible positions.

Eighty-eight percent of participants in the undergraduate program are pursuing careers in the biomedical workforce.

Ninety-two percent of postbaccalaureate students who enrolled in Ph.D. programs since 2011 have earned their degree or are still actively pursuing it. Meanwhile, a national study conducted by the

(continued on page 7)

(from page 1) started it when she noticed that driven, talented GFAC alumni were struggling to find work.

“I would have girls who had just graduated from college, followed all the rules, did all the stuff the book said to do. They followed a lot of white feminist movements, right?

But for them as Black girls, it wasn’t working,” Patton explained. When they spoke up for themselves at work, they were accused of being loud and disrespectful, denied raises, and left out of conversations with colleagues.

According to a 2018 Harvard Business Review article, some Black women say they have to “dampen aspects of their personality” in order to feel accepted by white colleagues.

And while many companies claim to prioritize gender and racial diversity, they often fail to treat Black women with respect. In a Forbes Magazine survey, 42 percent of Black women had their judgement questioned in their area of expertise.

To combat the double standard, Girl Ambassadors attend four years of weekly training sessions, starting in the ninth grade. The program is designed to build “the whole girl,” from helping them discover their passions to learning how to navigate the professional world. They graduate high school with a paid internship, already way ahead of the game.

For those without internet access — 15 percent of households with school-aged children (many of whom come from low-income, non-white families) — GFAC is prepared.

Courtesy of equipment donors, each Girl Ambassador gets a laptop and her own virtual hotspot to use throughout the pandemic.

The real obstacle has been securing internships. When businesses closed, many of GFAC’s usual partners could not afford to pay interns. Through their “Support a Black Girl, Lift up a Small Business” fundraiser, which is still live, GFAC raised enough to secure an internship for each Girl Ambassador this year. Interns may not get paid the full amount, but they will still be able to learn from valuable mentors.

It’s important to Patton that her Girl Ambassadors keep moving. “I don’t want them to be a Covid Kid,” she said, concerned future employers will frown upon an empty work history.

The Girl Ambassador program isn’t easy. Imagine trying to get an Instagram-obsessed teenager to show up for virtual coding classes on a Saturday. Of the 30 that enter the program each year, less than half go through with it.

“Most of the time,” Patton said, “it’s like, ‘I didn’t believe I could do it, I didn’t understand it.’”

While Patton exhibits a tough facade, she responds with open arms.

Girls who aren’t able to commit to the Girl Ambassador program can participate in one of GFAC’s many career-building activities, or can just hang out in the garden. “It’s all about staying in it with them for the long haul,” she said. “And when you see all the magical things she has to offer, making sure that she has an opportunity to show her tricks.”

Patton, who grew up hearing “Because I said so,” has spent her time at Girls For A Change learning how to listen to girls. In the beginning, not all of her ideas were well-received. “They were like, ‘I don’t wanna do this!’” Patton laughed. She’s ready to negotiate.

“Black girls have always been in a situation where we are seen and not heard,” Patton said. “We switched it to say, ‘I need you to be protective and listen, not discounting that, but I also need to hear what you’re feeling, too. And what do you think? And what do you think that has shifted and changed? And what are you still fearful of? And what do you want to celebrate today?’”

A turning point for her was when she decided to ask the girls what they wanted to do.

“I thought that I had the answers, and the girls actually ended up having the answers. I ended up learning to be a more active listener,” Patton said.

In line with this philosophy, GFAC offers “Sister Circles,” a chance for girls to speak their mind to a supportive audience of individuals who can relate to their experience.

Early on, Patton received some

advice. “When I started [at Girls For A Change], so many people told me ‘You just need to do the programs and get a white woman to be the face,’” she said. “I will not lie to you, it has been a different struggle [from those of] white women I know that run and operate organizations. But guess what? I know what I signed up for, and I refuse for someone to turn me into something that I’m not.”

To keep GFAC running successfully, Patton has a few strategies that work for her. “For one, I don’t have a problem telling people what Black girls have told me they needed,” she said. “I also surround myself with people that are on the moving train to make sure our girls get to victory. And if you’re not on that train to victory with me, then get the hell off!”

“I’m not here to fix people,” she continued. “There are going to be some people who believe in this, and there are going to be some people who don’t. So let’s go in the direction of the people who do believe in this!”

that has employed GFAC alum, hired Talent Experience and Belonging manager Abu Ngauja in 2019 to ensure that every employee feels welcomed. Commitment to change, Patton believes, is the only way majority-white companies will make real connections with people of color.

Referring to companies she’s observed, Patton said, “They spent thousands of dollars in workshops, and still don’t have access to Black people! I’m not saying they’re bad, I’m just saying, ‘What are the action steps that you’re going to take to be creative, and make sure that it is successful?’”

With or without a pandemic, GFAC will continue to provide education and opportunities beyond what many girls could have imagined. The organization has helped over 30,000 girls learn about themselves and the world.

The LEGACY

We must improve minority participation in clinical trials DR. ASEFA JEJAW MEKONNEN The minority community's relationship with the medical and scientific world has not been built upon trust. This is particularly true with African Americans. Brutal and unethical historical practices in medicine subjected African American bodies to dissection and autopsy material without their consent.

In addition, sterilizing Native American women without their consent, and the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment, led to a justifiable fear and luck of trust by people of color regarding clinical trial participation in the U.S. Recent publications have also indicated African Americans are overly represented in experimental and procedural studies that did not require informed consent.

These are studies conducted under emergency situations when subjects cannot make an informed decision. Part of the explanation given was that African Americans represent the largest proportion of geographical catchment in areas where such experiments are done.

These are primarily in inner city metro areas where academic medical centers are located. On the contrary, African Americans constituted less than 5 percent of patients in cancer-related clinical trials The LEGACY NEWSPAPER Vol. 6 No. 27 Mailing Address P.O.

that led to 24 of the cancer drugs approved between 2015 and 2018.

The underrepresentation of African American in oncological clinical trials extends to cancers that have higher rates of occurrence in the African American community.

If we follow the same logic for studies that did not require consent, studies on medical conditions that affect African Americans at a disproportionately higher rate (like multiple myeloma) should have a proportionate or higher ratio of African American subjects in the clinical trial.

The system is not serving justice and must change. Clinical trials can provide earlier access to care options that can prolong life and prevent disease. Opinions differ in terms of the benefit of vaccines to society. I strongly believe in the positive impact of vaccines. The world eradicated small pox and controlled polio, measles, yellow fever, pertussis, etc., with vaccine intervention. We must remember how human health was affected in the pre-vaccine era, when millions died with each major epidemic.

I grew up in a developing nation where infectious disease accounts for the majority of preventable deaths.

I witnessed first-hand the impact of mass vaccination. I cannot imagine what the population demography would have looked like if public The LEGACY welcomes all signed letters and all respectful opinions.

health was not armed with mass vaccination strategies for major childhood illnesses. As we progress in the fight against COVID-19, a safe and effective vaccine would give us the means to resume normal life.

Vaccine trials will show the result of preventing disease, or modifying the course of a disease, in a population that has the highest burden of disease. People at the highest risk of the disease - like healthcare workers, frontline workers, and African American and Hispanic communities - must be included in the study design that identifies requirements for participating in the trial.

But protocols will not increase participation in the study unless the trust and fear barriers for clinical trial participation are addressed.

When it comes to COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials, early educational intervention to the underrepresented African American and Hispanic communities can improve the knowledge gap.

Logistical factors that will curtail access to clinical research sites have to be considered. For example, trial managers should think about creating access to transportation, or taking clinical trial sites to where the target cohorts reside.

While building trust takes a long

time, involvement of non-medical community leaders to champion care in their respective communities will have a positive influence.

Primary care physicians who have longstanding relationships with communities should be involved in recruitment and the explanation of research protocols as they have built rapport with their communities.

Having quantitatively and qualitatively proportionate racial, cultural, and ethnic representation on the team of clinical investigators - and among the teams who monitor the observance of rules of clinical investigation - can couple with a compassionate support staff during clinical trials to improve the trust factor. While medicine is a universal human science that assumes each of us should have commitment and care based on our common humanity, historical reasons in America have made race a major factor in care delivery. As such, we must bridge the gap so the community that needs care the most can benefit from early clinical trials and scientific progress to change the course of COVID-19 pandemic.

History matters There is no doubt that our city and our nation are experiencing dramatic changes and challenges. It is clear proof that history matters more than ever. As a city, we must take a deeper look at the issues of racism and inequality that are present throughout our history and use this moment to listen to the voices asking us to take a fresh look. This is that Valentine moment

to listen and to thoughtfully and deliberately act in concert with others in the community. We are building our collection to make sure that we can tell the story of this moment to future generations. This is going to be tough, but it is why you support the Valentine and you understand the role history must play as we look to the future.

On June 30, the Valentine reopened to the public. While your experience at the museum will be a little different (masks are

required, and we are limiting the number of people in the building at one time), there will be lots of surprises to look forward to, including a new costume and textiles exhibition, “Ain’t Misbehavin’:1920s Richmond”, opening on July 21. We have also taken a portion of our “Voices from Richmond’s Hidden Epidemic” exhibition to the streets.

It is now displayed in the windows of the Wickham House and our museum buildings, serving as a powerful reminder of the ongoing

healthcare disparities that affect our community.

As I write this, things change every day and the Valentine staff and board of trustees are actively engaged in conversations to determine where we can be useful as we respond. To be honest, we don’t know where this will take us, but we know that you will be there with us.

Thanks, as always, for your wonderful support.

While working on his undergraduate biology degree at VCU, Hubbard participated in an eightweek research program called Step Up, designed to introduce underrepresented persons to the experience of conducting research. There, he learned about the Center on Health Disparities’ Initiative for Maximizing Student Development, which offers mentorship, training and financial support for undergraduate students.

Blood Drives with Red Cross to Include COVID-19 Antibody Testing Donors who participate in upcoming American Red Cross blood drives at Riverside Health System locations will receive free COVID-19 antibody testing.

For a limited time, the American Red Cross is testing all blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies as an additional health service to donors. This testing may provide critical insight into whether donors may have possibly been exposed to this coronavirus.

Upcoming blood drives include: Friday, July 24, 2020 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Riverside College of Health Careers at 316 Main St., Newport News.

The antibody test screens for antibodies in a donor’s blood, which are formed when fighting an infection, like COVID-19. An antibody test assesses whether a donor’s immune system has responded to the infection, not if the virus is currently present. The COVID-19 antibody test is authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and may indicate if the donor’s immune system has produced antibodies to the coronavirus, regardless of whether they developed symptoms.

The Red Cross is not testing donors to diagnose illness, including COVID-19. Individuals who believe they may be ill with COVID-19 should not present to donate until they are symptom free for 28 days and feeling well and healthy.

The results of the blood donor antibody test will be available by logging in to the “Blood Donor” account on the American Red Cross’ “Blood Donor App,” or online about seven to 10 days after a blood donation is made.

To learn more about blood donation or to find an upcoming blood drive, visit redcrossblood.org.

Virginia: Open with care.

COVID-19 isn’t over.

We’re making progress, but we can’t leave behind all the safety measures we’ve been taking. They’re working!

That’s why, when you visit your local stores, restaurants, and places of worship, they’ll only allow in half as many people as before. And they need all of us to do our part to keep them safe. Please continue to:

6 ft.

Wear a mask in public.

Stay 6 feet away. from others.

Wash your hands often.
