This collection of 24 personal essays provides a candid look at the lives of those in the pharmacy community, whose journeys have been shaped by a variety of defining factors, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, language, and mental health. 

Each essay within this collection presents significant events and reflections, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the challenges and triumphs faced by these individuals. From the silence imposed by societal norms to the isolating systems within the healthcare sector, these narratives illuminate the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in pharmacy. 

The authors not only share their unique stories but also provide valuable insights and advice for others who may face similar situations. Their reflections serve as a guide, fostering a deeper understanding among pharmacy colleagues, patients, and society as a whole. 

In addition to the powerful personal essays, Hidden Narratives includes thought-provoking reflection questions designed to facilitate personal growth through self-reflection, and team/group discussion.
