It was a pleasure to meet up with Ron Weaver in Portland for a David's Corner conversation. We covered a wide range of topics from Black History Month to how he builds equity practices with his teams as the Program Supervisor for LCSNW's Substance Use programs. This sports fan and athlete even surprised me with a previous NFL tryout and the celebrities he met along the way. If you want to know which team he was up for, you'll have to tune in. Come join us!  Please make recommendations of colleagues to be highlighted in the future, and leave a comment below for Ron and I. Thanks to Yulia Shipulina, Community Outreach Coordinator in Portland for filming today's video.   David Health, Justice and Hope
