RALEIGH (WTVD) When WakeMed pediatrician Rasheeda Monroe volunteered as a COVID-19 vaccinator last month, she saw something was missing. I noticed that it was an amazing event, over 1,100 people got vaccinated. But, I thought where are the people of color, she said.
As North Carolina grapples with data showing inequities in its vaccine rollout, Dr. Monroe and a group of Black Raleigh physicians hatched a plan to do something about it. She started brainstorming with her WakeMed colleagues who call themselves the sister circle. They re all friends; they re all black; and they re all doctors: a psychiatrist, gynecologists, obstetricians, pediatrician and family med physician.
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) Dylan Wall began most workdays at the UPS hub on Atlantic Avenue in Raleigh. His truck was loaded before he heads out on his route through downtown. Wall did all that on Wednesday. But, he never returned. Now, his family and friends in mourning. Why it happened; how it happened; and to him specifically. It doesn t make sense to me, said Wall s friend and fellow UPS driver Holden Howell.
“It doesn’t make sense to me. It’s so surreal.”
