About Ayodola Anise, MHS

Ayodola Anise, MHS, is a leader and public health professional with over 15 years of experience advancing health and healthcare equity. Her own experiences with discrimination have led her to develop and share strategies to address bias and improve equity not just in healthcare, but also in the workplace.

Ayodola is the founder and Chief Colorer at "Coloring in White Space," an organization focused on coaching and supporting women and women of color to ensure that they have the tools and strategies needed to combat bias and advance professionally in the workplace. A skilled speaker and facilitator, she provides concrete information to various groups about unconscious bias, and identifies personal-, professional- and organizational-level strategies to improve equity.
