The campaign led to the creation of a safety health and wellness education campaign that Focus for Health fostered with the guidance of Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha to distribute lead informational handouts and booklets to Flint residents. Her latest work is primarily based in Chicago, distributing hundreds of thousands of pounds of food and PPE to communities hit hardest by COVID and providing business grants to Black entrepreneurs in the South and West sides of Chicago.
