Te'Kima Anthony-Bey, MSW
Site Placement: Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW), Division of Nursing and Public Health (DNPH), Advanced Nursing Education Branch (ANEB)
Te’Kima’s passions are community development and social and economic justice. She cultivated this interest through her fifteen years of experience working in the real estate industry, where she saw firsthand that the cost of living, high property taxes, and social disparities have led to higher homeless rates and a mass exodus from Long Island New York. She previously worked for the Community Development Corporation of Long Island as the Housing Mobility Manager for the Neighborhood Choice Long Island Program. This program aims to move families from neighborhoods with high poverty and low-performing schools to well-resourced communities to improve health, education, and economic outcomes for school-age children.
Te’Kima graduated Summa Cum Laude from Stony Brook University with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work on May 21, 2021, and her Master of Social Work degree at Stony Brook University with a specialization in Community, Policy, and Political Social Action (CPPSA). Te’Kima is an active member of her community – a part of Suffolk County’s Next Generation Advisory Council, a Board Trustee for her local civic association, The Belmont Lake Civic Association, an active member of the National Association of Social Workers, and sits on the NYS-NASW PACE committee. Te’Kima is also the founder of a networking group for Black professional women called the Empowerment, Education, and Elevation Network, whose vision is “That all Black women can be successful in their careers and obtain the income and professional growth they desire.”
Te’Kima plans to continue macro-level social work practice and shape policy to improve access to safe, affordable housing to address social determinants of health and economic justice.
