Founder · Ntianu Center for Healing and Nature
Gail Christopher is an award-winning social change agent with expertise in the social determinants of health and well-being and in related public policies. She is known for her pioneering work to infuse holistic health and diversity concepts into public sector programs and policy discourse. In her role as the Senior Advisor and Vice President at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF), Dr. Christopher was the driving force behind the America Healing initiative to tackle structural racism and promote racial healing. The effort sought to improve life outcomes for children and families who were vulnerable due to racial inequities in communities. That work led her to become the architect of W.K. Kellogg’s Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT), an adaptation of the globally recognized Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) model. In August of 2017, Dr. Christopher left her leadership position with WKKF to launch the Maryland-based Ntianu Center for Healing and Nature and to devote more time to writing and speaking on issues of health, racial healing, and the human capacity for caring. She is currently Chair of the Board of the Trust for America’s Health. More on YouTube: Dr. Gail Christopher speaks to the power of storytelling and Rx Racial Healing
