August 10, 2020 COVID-19 is real and it's killing our people - A discussion with Melisa Laelan
On today's episode, I discuss the COVID-19 pandemic with Marshallese leader, Melisa Laelan. Over 60% of the fatalities from COVID-19 are represented by the Marshallese/Micronesian population in the town where Melisa serves. Melisa Laelan is a native Marshall Islander, born and raised in the Marshall Islands. At age 16, she graduated top of her high school in the islands. A year later she enlisted in the United States Armed Forces. While in the Army, she was offered the opportunity to serve as a logistic specialist within various units throughout the United States and abroad including Asia and Europe. It was then that she acquainted with people from different cultures and became more appreciative of the diversity she experience. After ten years in the service, she moved to Arkansas to attend University of Arkansas in 2004 where she is now a senior, part-time status, studying International relations. Because of her prior service with the Armed Forces, she was able to attain her citizenship and in 2011, she became a U.S. citizen. She now holds a dual citizenship. In 2011, along with other Marshallese leaders, Laelan founded Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese (ACOM) and in the year 2015, ACOM received its non-profit status, making it the first organization founded and directed by native Marshall Islanders. As the executive director of ACOM, she has become a resource contact in both Marshallese and non-Marshallese communities. As the Marshallese community continues to grow in Arkansas, she is frequently visited by many.
