Tiffany Okeani is a Richmond Fellow with the Center for Community Health Innovation. She is a current J.D./MPH student at Georgetown University Law Center and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
From helping facilitate sustainable improvements for Black and Brown birthing communities to making culturally sensitive dietary recommendations in the promotion of positive behavioral change for patients, she knows what it is like to use research, writing, oral communication, design, and lived experience in the advocacy of someone else.
While in her dual degree program, she has contributed to research on a variety of complex medical-legal matters, created a provider-focused resource guide to support low-income Baltimore patients in the perinatal period, and prepared written position papers advocating for policies to improve the health of Marylanders. She is involved with the Women of Color Collective, Black Law Students Association, and Health Law Society on her law school campus. She is also a Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics staff editor, a spring 2025 intern with the CDC’s Office of Public Health Law Services, and a research assistant for the Center on Gender Justice and Opportunity.
Okeani obtained a B.A. in Legal Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, with minors in African American Studies and Global Public Health.
