Emerging from consulting work that began in 2017, re:verb health formed as a collaborative, cross-disciplinary practice built through long-term partnerships across healthcare, government, education, community-based organizations, and the arts. Our work is grounded in years of hands-on experience navigating policy, systems, and culture change, and applying community-centered approaches to promoting health and well-being. Bringing together creative practice, critical pedagogy, and community health experience, re:verb health builds bridges between strategy and creativity, rigor and care, and evidence and imagination, with a shared purpose to: &nbsp; + re:imagine how we work together + re:claim who defines and what counts as successful change + re:generate our relationships with each other in connection to our planet <img width="1045" height="867" width_o="1045" height_o="867" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/188bd051b1517a011a8624f1d19b6b904aac0b5aebb222f499adc0cbb87b4bc5/dj-roza_sj-art.png" data-mid="1365762" border="0" data-scale="40"/> Roza DoFounder + Principal I’m Roza Do, founder of re:verb health, first-generation Vietnamese American woman, mother, artist, strategist, coach, weaver, evaluative thinker, and creative practitioner.&nbsp;These identities anchor me in relationship with people and in critical conversation with the systems that shape our lives.My work draws on more than 15 years of experience in program design, strategy, and capacity building across health and social care systems in the nonprofit and public sectors throughout the Bay Area. I began my career in healthcare and community health improvement, including helping launch and lead statewide grantmaking initiatives and learning collaboratives at the Center for Care Innovations and the Prevention Institute. Through this work, I supported safety-net clinics, hospitals, and community partners to improve health and social outcomes by providing technical assistance and coaching to build human-centered design capabilities and grow a network of frontline change catalysts; establishing and facilitating innovation hubs to test and scale digital health solutions in under-resourced care and community settings; and developing strategies and tools to integrate prevention and equity into policy and practice addressing the social and structural determinants of health.Alongside my community health practice, I am a long-time DJ and creative collaborator. Arts and culture deeply inform how I show up in my work, bringing rhythm and collective meaning-making into spaces often shaped by urgency and constraint, and serving as vital, strategic vehicles for social change. Over the past 20 years, I have performed and toured as a DJ with Oakland-based hip-hop artists and activists Rocky Rivera and Grammy- and Emmy Award-winning children’s music group Alphabet Rockers, blending music and dialogue to spark community conversations and support movement building across the U.S. and abroad. I am the youngest daughter of six children of Vietnamese refugees, born in Rhode Island, raised in Gardena, California, and rooted in Oakland with my partner and our two sons.

He brings experience across public health, housing, and policy, with current research focused on governance and expertise, and on how housing and health are shaped through institutional decision-making, evidence, and lived experience. He is currently a PhD candidate in Sociocultural Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley and the inaugural David Minkus Memorial Graduate Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Societal Issues, and is affiliated with the Berkeley Center for Social Medicine. Before beginning his doctoral studies, Bobby served as Associate Director at the Urban Strategies Council, where he worked at the intersection of applied research, policy analysis, and advocacy to advance housing and economic development policies aimed at improving social outcomes in historically marginalized communities at the local, state, and federal levels. Across applied and academic settings, Bobby partners closely with community-based organizations, advocates, and public agencies. Grounded in ethnographic research with policy and public health experts, housing advocates, and residents, his work examines how governance and policy processes mediate problem definition, knowledge production, and the ways solutions take shape, including how inequities are reproduced in real-world contexts. He brings analytical rigor and a culturally grounded lens to questions of governance, accountability, and institutional practice. Bobby holds a Master of Public Health in Social and Behavioral Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley. Originally from the Texas-Mexico border, he has called the Bay Area home for nearly two decades and lives in Oakland with his partner and their two young children.

What We Do We partner with nonprofit organizations, health systems, and cross-sector initiatives to drive equity and impact through design, research, organizational learning, and cultural strategy. We help teams connect, learn, and lead together in new ways, moving beyond hierarchy toward shared possibility. Together, we build collaborative practices grounded in care, accountability, and reciprocity that ripple across teams, organizations, and the communities they serve.How We Work Our work is fundamentally relational. We value authentic connection, offer asset-based capacity building, and engage in creative inquiry and problem solving alongside frontline workers and communities most impacted by health and social inequities. Through intentional spaces and participatory processes that invite reflection and experimentation, we support teams to move toward action in ways that are both meaningful and measurable, centering data, evidence, and lived experience that reflect multiple ways of knowing.Our Philosophy Our practice is shaped by a range of liberatory frameworks and guiding principles we hold deep gratitude for, including Design Justice, Healing Justice, Emergent Strategy, Transformative Research, Emergent Learning, and&nbsp;Equitable Evaluation to name a few. We weave these approaches with intergenerational wisdom and interdisciplinary experience spanning health and medicine, urban planning, community development, education, youth development, arts and culture, design, social innovation, and policy and advocacy as we work to build more connected and caring ecosystems. Invitation Change happens in relationship, through deep collaboration, shared accountability, and showing up with care. This is where we operate: at the margins of power and practice, where technical rigor and radical imagination come together to strengthen collective capacity and sustain the everyday work of change.
