Tune into Part 2 of our conversation with Mulika Musyimi, a passionate advocate in public and global health!About the Speaker: Mulika Musyimi, MPH is originally from Kilifi, a small town in the Coast province of Kenya, and he is the son of farmers, cooks, teachers, tailors, hotel workers, and storytellers. He wants to acknowledge them and their impact because without them, there wouldn't be a story thread featuring him. In addition to having various relatives experience health challenges throughout his life, there was also the realization that as a Sub-Saharan African migrant living in a US context, there was now this different exposure/perspective of seeing and making sense of his surroundings. The markedly poor overall health outcomes experienced by Black communities on the continent and in the diaspora is dire and needs addressing particularly because of the sum of stressors that social determinants of health place on an individual, a family, and a community. In short, these were some of his motivators in pursuing an MPH in Global Environmental Health.See full transcript here: https://www.coeh.berkeley.edu/do-change-mulika-musyimi
