CEG is a nonprofit organization that works to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes for underserved people and communities. “Masculine-of-center women, who are often queer women of color, face a number of disparities when trying to access healthcare, and these events are meant to educate and encourage women,” explaioned CEG Executive Director A.
