State Rep. Robin Shackleford
The Made in Indy podcast welcomes Indiana State Rep. Robin Shackleford. We discuss the inspiration for the latest bill she has drafted, that would require cultural awareness training for health care professionals in Indiana. She dissects key points of the proposed legislation, & how it would help to dissipate the health disparities that minorities face in our state.
We explore the process of how bills that are drafted become law, and how constituents can play a key role in the legislative process. The State Rep. shares with us personal experiences of loved ones that have faced racial bias when seeking medical treatment.
Later, Rep. Shackleford shares with us her perspectives on what makes Indy unique, and why she is excited about our city’s future. We also discover where she is seeing the biggest impact that advocacy is making in our community.
