I have had an interesting battle with trust, and as a Black woman my lack of trust is exacerbated by social and historical influences, all of which are out of my control. As a child, I put my trust into anyone and anything. I was raised in a household built on truth and trust, which are pillars in my ethical decision making to this day. Due to this foundation, I found myself growing up in disbelief at what others offered regarding why I should trust them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section alternate_color avia-section-small avia-no-border-styling  avia-bg-style-scroll  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  inner-img-col  container_wrap fullsize' style=' '  ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-3408'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-65kqeg-b49b9b4cc1b44cdd637f4a0c1dd57399\">\n.flex_column.av-65kqeg-b49b9b4cc1b44cdd637f4a0c1dd57399{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:40px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-65kqeg-b49b9b4cc1b44cdd637f4a0c1dd57399 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div  '     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-l0i45etz-ce5a785d41c56da689911ed91a6f5290 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>As I got older, I started asking more questions. Why should I trust my White high school teacher to be able to fully assess me as a human being and student after saying they \u201cDidn\u2019t see color\u201d? Will I be able to trust my head gymnastics coach after I heard her whisper to her coworker that she is surprised to see I gained so much weight over summer break? How is it that I can be turned away at a hair salon by a licensed cosmetologist because my hair is \u201ctoo thick\u201d? These situations were not only hard to process when they occurred but changed the trajectory and my perception of trust in others from there on forward. I began to lose faith in those that were tasked to help me, and I got caught in a downward spiral of what I could consider genuine, and what I considered dubious.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l0i5mswt-102f77690d690c661d814acb59dfdb65\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-l0i5mswt-102f77690d690c661d814acb59dfdb65{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-l0i5mswt-102f77690d690c661d814acb59dfdb65 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-asq77k-9100c3229596b3154d0a6cb0b960608a '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Today, I am a second-semester college senior studying Health Services Administration, and one of my biggest interests is the lack of trust that Black people, especially Black women, have in the medical system. When I was first taught about Black mistrust in the medical system, my mind automatically went to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and the story of Henrietta Lacks, however, those are merely examples of a deeply rooted system in this country. The transatlantic slave trade, a monumental tragedy in American History caused the spiral effect of creating Black distrust of medicine. What I know now as generational trauma from slavery, accounts for a lot of where we are as a country when it comes to the ways in which Black people are cared for. Maternal mortality rates being three times as high for Black women than for white women is not because Black women are more susceptible to death, it is because when they shriek in pain, or raise a concern, they are simply not believed. If you knew you were three times more likely to die from childbirth due to the color of your skin, what would you think?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column

I want to be able to see a world in which this is possible. I want to feel loved by those I meet and interact with, and I want them to feel loved and trusted by me. In theory, this sounds wonderful, but we must loop back to what reality has to offer at its core. We are clear there is a pervasive lack of trust, but what now?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s complicated. Everyone has different missions, and reasons for taking on what they do. But for me, I am working to build trust as an active advocate for others. I\u2019m immersing myself in different topics and studies that I have found purposeful, especially topics such as the social determinants of health, as well as equity and opportunity in minority communities. I\u2019m making intentional efforts to broaden my communication skills and openly talk about trust issues.\u00a0 It\u2019s something I believe we should all do to build a better foundation of trust. I hope to center my future health care work in being intentional with open communication so that patients I work with and who have never felt trust in the health care system can see and feel they are safe, they are cared for, and, importantly, they are listened to.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, to trust fully, we also must be willing to let our walls down, being intentionally vulnerable and allowing others to be vulnerable with us.\u00a0 And we must begin to love people simply for the fact that they deserve to be loved, with open hearts, allowing for the possibility of being loved back just the same.<\/p>\n<p>None of this is easy work. Building trust after it has been lost or even if it has never been there takes time and effort.\u00a0 But there is no better time to do this and no better way to go forward together.\u00a0 Trust is really at the center of all we can become as part of this thing we call the human race.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2m97eo-2957c46a481681721f4642dbeb22ce06\">\n.flex_column.av-2m97eo-2957c46a481681721f4642dbeb22ce06{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2m97eo-2957c46a481681721f4642dbeb22ce06 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-26  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l0i724cu-65f61afb4099fe435eb70fa1cd50af98\">\n.avia-image-container.av-l0i724cu-65f61afb4099fe435eb70fa1cd50af98 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-l0i724cu-65f61afb4099fe435eb70fa1cd50af98 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-l0i724cu-65f61afb4099fe435eb70fa1cd50af98 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-27  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-3421 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-3421 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Trust-2-scaled.jpg\" alt='' title='Trust 2'  height=\"2560\" width=\"1696\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Trust-2-scaled.jpg 1696w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Trust-2-scaled-600x906.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Trust-2-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Trust-2-682x1030.jpg 682w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Trust-2-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Trust-2-1017x1536.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Trust-2-1357x2048.jpg 1357w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Trust-2-994x1500.jpg 994w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Trust-2-467x705.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1696px) 100vw, 1696px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Elizabeth Garnes, Senior at Xavier University in Ohio, President of the Rho Xi Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Founder of Issa Giveback Community Service Program, Medical Assistant in Occupational Therapy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":3422,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
