As a Black gender-expansive woman and multi-passionate artist-researcher, Dr. Burch transforms lived experience into community healing, creating spaces where even her own dynamic disabilities become superpowers and GriefLove– that place where there’s no space between words – can be honored. What became an 11-year commitment to Common Ground Revisited's 2022 world premiere at the Huntington Theatre exemplifies her dedication to the intersections of artistic community building and recounting the past and present struggles to improve health outcomes for all.
