Letter from Healthy Communities Fellowship Leadership
Dear Friends,
As we commemorate five impactful years of the Healthy Communities Fellowship (HCF), it is imperative to highlight a foundational aspect of our program: our steadfast commitment to centering BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) voices at every step. When I joined the HCF in 2019, I was thrilled to be part of a groundbreaking initiative that amplifies community-led solutions, particularly those championed by BIPOC leaders. Little did I know that the world would soon be engulfed by a global pandemic, further exposing the deep-rooted disparities in healthcare access and outcomes experienced by BIPOC communities. Despite these challenges, our fellows have demonstrated remarkable resilience, dedication, and innovation in addressing health equity issues within their communities.
Today, as I reflect on the achievements of our HCF fellows, it’s evident that they have set a new standard for community-driven change. Their stories of impact, their unwavering commitment to health equity, and their leadership serve as a beacon of hope in the face of adversity. I extend my deepest appreciation to our fellows, the Aspen Global Innovators Group (AGI) team, the mentors, the review committee, and our partners who have contributed to our collective success.
As you delve into our impact report, you will witness the profound impact of BIPOC-led initiatives on community health outcomes. Our dedication to engaging alumni, expanding in new communities, and fostering self-sufficiency reflects our devotion to equipping BIPOC leaders to be architects of lasting change.
The past five years have underscored the transformative power of BIPOC leadership in driving positive change. As we navigate the challenges ahead, let us reaffirm our pledge to advancing health equity and uplifting often overlooked voices. Together, we will shape a brighter, more equitable future for all.
Thank you for your steadfast support, belief in local leadership, and commitment to health equity.
With heartfelt gratitude and anticipation for the journey ahead,

The Healthy Communities Fellowship
The Healthy Communities Fellowship (HCF) has cultivated a network of BIPOC leaders over the past five years, leveraging their lived and proximate expertise to drive transformative initiatives addressing health disparities and promoting equity within their communities. By investing in individuals intimately familiar with the challenges at hand, the program empowers fellows to design and implement effective solutions aimed at improving community health.
Through tailored communication, narrative, and leadership training and coaching, the fellowship prepares fellows to lead from a place of both lived and learned experience.
The HCF aims to help fellows acquire crucial skills which allow them to position themselves as experts in their field. From crafting opinion pieces to devising advocacy plans, conducting interviews, and managing social media, participants gain a comprehensive toolkit essential for effecting meaningful change.
The program leverages the vast experience
and influential network of Aspen Global Innovators Group (AGI) to provide fellows with unparalleled opportunities to learn from and connect with global leaders.
Successful Healthy Communities Fellows are individuals deeply committed to making a difference within their communities. They approach the fellowship as an investment in their own personal growth, actively engaging in training and mentorship, while fostering mutual support within their cohort. As a U.S.- based fellowship, program participants benefit from curated connections with global leaders, which allows fellows to expand their impact beyond their local communities. By supporting the Healthy Communities Fellowship, funders play a pivotal role in cultivating a new generation of leaders who will drive positive change in their communities and beyond.

Jerry Blassingame: Transforming Communities Through Restorative Justice with a Healthy Equity Lens
Jerry Blassingame, Executive Director of Soteria Community Development Corporation, embarked on a transformative journey with the Healthy Communities Fellowship in 2019 driven by his passion for community empowerment and reentry advocacy. With a background in architectural engineering and a deep commitment to serving individuals affected by incarceration, Jerry’s journey with the fellowship exemplifies the power of personal transformation and community-driven solutions.
Reflecting on his path before joining the fellowship, Jerry recalls his journey of redemption and service. “Twenty-five years ago, after serving three and a half years of a 20-year prison sentence, I opened the doors of Soteria World Outreach Ministries,” he shares. Over the years, Jerry’s role expanded to encompass housing management, community projects, and operating a food bank, ultimately leading to the establishment of Soteria Community Development Corporation in 2007.
Motivated by a desire to enhance his advocacy skills and expand his network, Jerry applied for the fellowship. “I’m a lifelong learner, and I saw the fellowship as an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and gain new perspectives,” he explains. Focusing on advocacy and media skills, Jerry entered the program with a clear set of goals and expectations.
Throughout the fellowship, Jerry found himself immersed in a rich learning environment that enhanced the skills he needed to successfully run his nonprofit and develop his brand.“ The writing workshops were particularly impactful for me,” he notes.“ As someone who writes poetry and op-eds, learning from media professionals was invaluable.” His participation in Aspen Ideas: Health further amplified his voice and expanded his network, opening doors to new opportunities and connections.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Jerry remained committed to his journey, leveraging the support of his coaches and mentors to overcome obstacles. One project that stood out was his op-ed titled “Ex-Con,’ ‘Ex-Offender’ and ‘Ex-Inmate’ Are Words That Reduce Millions to Stereotype.” “It was a powerful moment for me,” Jerry reflects.“ I was able to showcase the importance of using humanizing language when talking about incarcerated people.”
Jerry’s involvement in the fellowship profoundly influenced his approach to addressing health equity and community issues. “I now view all of our work with a health lens,” he explains. “From providing health screenings to addressing mental health challenges, the fellowship has broadened my perspective and transformed our approach to community development.”
Looking ahead, Jerry remains focused on integrating health equity into all aspects of his work. “We now send everyone to get health screenings when they’re released from prison,” he shares. “And we’re hiring a part-time mental health professional to provide support to our clients.”
Jerry offers words of encouragement for future fellows. “Go in with an open mind and give it your all,” he advises. “The fellowship offers invaluable opportunities for growth and connection.”
Reflecting on the unique value of the program, Jerry emphasizes the importance of storytelling and communication skills. “As nonprofit practitioners, being able to share stories is critical,” he says. He also suggests enhancing alumni connections and facilitating ongoing engagement to maximize the program’s impact.
“[The Healthy Communities Fellowship] gave me a new lens to look at my work, and social determinants of health came alive,” Jerry shares in gratitude. His journey serves as a testament to the transformative power of community-driven solutions and the importance of continuous learning and growth in advancing health equity and community development.

Monique Castro’s Vision for Indigenous Wellness
Monique Castro, a Xicana and member of the Navajo (Diné) Nation, embarked on a transformative journey with the Healthy Communities Fellowship in 2020, driven by her passion for Indigenous wellness and community healing. Raised in southeast Los Angeles, Monique’s background as a licensed therapist and founder of the Indigenous Circle of Wellness equipped her with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by Indigenous populations. Her commitment to providing culturally inclusive counseling and holistic healing laid the foundation for her involvement in the fellowship.
Motivated by a desire to amplify Indigenous voices in the realm of wellness and healing, Monique identified a pressing need to address the mental health needs of Indigenous communities in the Los Angeles area which were glaringly overlooked. Motivated by a former fellow’s nomination, Monique seized the opportunity to join the fellowship, viewing it as a platform to elevate her mission of promoting Indigenous wellness.
Throughout her experience, Monique found herself immersed in a dynamic learning environment that stretched her personal and professional boundaries. “The biography development activity, media training, and interview exercises provided invaluable opportunities for self-reflection and skill development. I learned how center my purpose and values when presenting myself,” Monique recalls. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and her personal journey, Monique’s resilience and commitment to her purpose were unwavering.“The fellowship was my anchor during a tumultuous time,” she says,“ and it helped me stay focused on my mission.”
Monique’s involvement profoundly influenced her approach to addressing health equity and community issues. “Engaging with a diverse cohort of women leaders allowed me to gain insights into the intersectionality of maternal and mental health,” she explains.“ It reshaped my perspective on wellness and empowered me to advocate for inclusive solutions.” The fellowship not only equipped Monique with practical skills, it also instilled a sense of belonging and empowerment among extraordinary women leaders.
Despite being virtual, Monique valued the mentorship and networking opportunities provided. “The support and camaraderie within the fellowship community were invaluable,” she says. “The program’s emphasis amplifying the voices of diverse healthy equity champions sets it apart. Often in health, we focus on the disparities within our communities, and they’re valid, but I appreciated learning from others about how their communities are thriving. The fellows are doing incredible work, and it was so helpful to have positive examples to look to.”
Looking back on her journey, Monique takes pride in the resilience and strength she gained through the fellowship. “Despite personal losses and struggles, I emerged stronger and rooted in my purpose,” she reflects. To future fellows, she emphasizes the importance of dedicated time and full presence in the program. “Seize every opportunity for growth and connection,” she urges. Monique recognizes the unique value of the Healthy Communities Fellowship in bringing together top leaders and fostering innovative solutions. “The fellowship has the power to transform not only your work but also your life.”
OUR VISION FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS
![](./assets/UCtvPUWlPG/screenshot-2024-04-29-at-7.46.55-pm-688x784.png)
As we reflect on the remarkable journey of the Healthy Communities Fellowship’s first five years, we are inspired to chart a visionary path for the future. This is shaped by our unwavering commitment to empowering local leaders and catalyzing change in communities across the nation. Here’s a glimpse of our aspirations:
HCF Alumni Engagement
Our esteemed alumni network is an incredible resource that we want to further engage and harness for their expertise and background. These individuals not only completed the fellowship but also have become catalysts for positive change in their communities. Our vision entails supporting a dynamic alumni community that actively collaborates, mentors, and shares with each other. Through ongoing training, mentorship opportunities, and alumni-led initiatives, we will ensure that the impact of the Healthy Communities Fellowship extends far beyond the initial program.
Deepening investment in HCF communities
In addition to expanding to new regions, we are committed to ensuring the long-term sustainability and self-sufficiency of existing our fellowship communities. A prime example of this commitment is our work in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where we began working in 2021. We have welcomed 10 local fellows into our network and are ensuring that, even as alumni, they have the tools and resources to continue pushing for equitable health outcomes in their community. Over the next five years, we will continue to invest in our place-based fellows across local communities, empowering them to take the reins of their initiatives and to continue to meet and support each other. By transitioning to community-led initiatives, we aim to create lasting change and establish a blueprint for others to follow, thus paving the way for further expansion into new communities.
Expansion to New Communities
Our vision broadens our reach, encompassing new communities that can benefit from the transformative power of the Healthy Communities Fellowship. In the coming years, we aim to establish fellowship programs in regions such as Durham, North Carolina; Memphis, Tennessee; Atlanta, Georgia; and beyond, thereby extending our strong network of healthy equity leaders. By forging strategic partnerships with local institutions and organizations, we will create opportunities for leaders in these areas to drive meaningful change within their own communities. These regional expansions will enable us to address unique challenges and amplify the impact of our fellowship on a national scale.
Our vision for the next five years is ambitious, driven by the belief that local leaders hold the key to transformative change. We invite our partners, supporters, and stakeholders to join us on this journey as we cultivate a new generation of leaders poised to spearhead positive change in their communities and beyond.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT
![](./assets/UGdNNBufu6/screenshot-2024-04-29-at-7.46.55-pm-688x784.png)
Thanks for Your Support
At the heart of our journey lies a network of dedicated partners and donors whose unwavering support is instrumental in the success of the Healthy Communities Fellowship. We extend our deepest gratitude to those who have shared our vision and walked alongside us on this transformative path.
This includes national foundations and local philanthropies, whose dynamic collaboration bridges the gap between global vision and local impact. The result is the creation of sustainable local ecosystems that empower communities from within. The synergy between these two pillars of support enables us
to achieve a more profound and lasting effect on community health.
Our local partners, including Methodist Healthcare Ministries, H.E. Butt Foundation, George Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Rasmuson Foundation, represent the cornerstone of our community-focused approach. Their commitment to the well-being of their respective regions not only strengthens the impact of the Healthy Communities Fellowship but also ensures that our initiatives resonate with the unique needs and aspirations of local communities.
National partners, like the Aetna and the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, bring a wealth of experience, resources, and broader perspectives to our mission. Their generous support allows us to scale our efforts, broaden our reach, and leverage the collective wisdom of a diverse range of communities and regions. Together, we transcend geographical boundaries and weave a tapestry of change that stretches far beyond any single community.
In the spirit of collaboration and shared purpose,
we recognize that we make a difference through the harmonious partnership of national and local entities. The fusion of global vision with local dedication
is the secret to building resilient, self-sustaining ecosystems of change.
As we move forward, we invite current and prospective partners to continue this journey with us. Your support not only fuels our programs but also the hopes and dreams of the individuals and communities we serve. Together, we will amplify our influence, nurture local leaders, and create a healthier, more equitable future for all.
"We extend our deepest gratitude to those who have shared our vision and walked alongside us on this tranformative path."
