Y’all are not ready for this! In one of our warmest conversations yet, we’re talking to Dr. Andrea Jacobo – a multi-lingual spoken word artist, storyteller, and community health organizer. She is first generation Afro-Dominican American, and her creative expression stems from her cultural roots and upbringing. Her writing is a tool to connect bridges across communities, disciplines, borders, and cultures.
As you’ll learn in this episode, Andrea is talking to us on the heels of a BIG WIN. We’ll learn more about why she believes that community-centered, people-centered approaches are key to addressing health inequities. Her passion for community health, our culture, and the craft of writing are a few of the things we jump into today.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
