Building With Everyone: Lem Cartman on Community, Health Equity, and Leading Before You're Ready
In this episode, we sit down with Lem Cartman — Manager of Community Relations & Corporate Government Affairs at Henry Ford Health, founder of WE Consulting, and one of Detroit's most exciting emerging leaders.
Growing up as the 15th of 18 kids on Chicago's South Side, Lem learned early that collaboration isn't optional, it's everything. That belief has carried him from being the first in his family to attend college, to designing trauma therapy programs, to building a social impact consulting firm, to leading community health equity work at one of Michigan's largest health systems.
We talk about what it means to lead when you're the youngest in the room, how empathy fuels real community change, what his Youth Leadership Collaborative initiatives are all about, and why he believes we always build better when we build with everyone.🎙️

What does it take to go from serving your country to serving your community?
