 and reflections from individuals in these communities from the School of Medicine. Issues around identity are always complex. Labels such as Hispanic, Latino, Latina, or Latinx are subjective, and each term brings its own history and cultural connotations.
 However, by learning more about this history and context, we can enhance our understanding and respect for our Hispanic and Latino colleagues.</p>

A variety of terms are used to describe people who come from, or have family roots coming from, countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. In the United States, two terms are most frequently used, sometimes interchangeably: Hispanic, and some variation of
 Latino, Latina, or Latinx. In our first "Ask the ODI" feature, we'll discuss these terms, why they matter, and why many people from these communities have complex feelings about what term(s) they prefer.

 on Tuesday in the journal <em>JAMA. </em><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://duke.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9f0b96a218193e32d8c665f7c&id=3f385ec4f4&e=6c8e11d403__;!!OToaGQ!_PX-MuBEFl01xx7rpVqHvk0yELJpOp4khcwYhJkMT1L9ijWTLTQ1EevkOJMdHUGdclpa4ep21q_l$" style="color:rgb(0,99,206);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline;word-wrap:break-word;color:#0063ce;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Read

<strong>Operationalizing Justice: Prioritizing Rest & Wellness Beyond the Rhetoric<em> (Inclusion Solution)</em></strong><br>
“Your work isn’t your worth. Your birth is your worth.” – Tricia Hersey - I would offer that you pause and reflect on this quote prior to reading this post. We must fundamentally reorient our understanding of self-worth, work and productivity to truly understand
 what it means to move beyond the rhetoric and prioritize rest in our strides to create more just cultures.
