Sam and her family have lived in Chelsea for the last 20 years, they immigrated from Haiti. In the early days of the pandemic, Sam was an integral part of the Wellness team and helped translate several documents to Haitian Creole.

Carmen is a strong, local leader and Chelsea resident. When Carmen is not activating new immigrant activists in her community, she is dancing mariachi for Grupo Torogoz (the “torogoz” is the national bird of both El Salvador and Nicaragua).

 

You can read more about Sam and Carmen’s story in our Health Equity Report! If you’re interested in sharing your story with us or you’d like a hard copy of our report, please email Sara Arman at SaraA@greenrootschelsea.org.
