Episode Synopsis "A New Philosophy of Better Health with Mona Antilla Carloni and Mariam Mohamed"

What barriers to health might be in place for recent immigrants and how do we put people on a path to better health? At its core, this is a story of culture, understanding the whole person and their unique individual stories — things our health system is just not designed to do. Kurt talks with Mona Antilla Carloni and Mariam Mohamed, the creators of Intercultural Alliance, a program tailored to the health needs of Somali women and taught through community, food, and personal experiences. Mariam, a Somali immigrant herself, has worked in program analysis and evaluation for private and non-profit services. Mona comes from the creative design and marketing world, with a passion for wellness design and holistic health coaching. Learn how they work together to improve health disparities in Somali communities, one person at a time.
