Here’s what I want from you the audience. Question your providers. The relationship between you and your provider is a partnership. If you’re a provider, interrogate your education, interrogate your mentors and professors interrogate your textbooks. And if you have more insight on this particular topic please shoot me an email at shereallygetsit@gmail.com.

The mission of public health might be disease prevention and health for all. The reality is that it’s a world of unpaid internships, preferential hiring practices, and downright racism. In this week’s episode, Stefanie sits down with her fellow Drexel alum to discuss, “Why Is Public Health So Racist?” and just how to navigate all white spaces when you are anything but.

"This week's episode is a follow-up to last week where we discussed the influence of the Christian Right. This week we will be speaking with Stefanie's favorite Chaplain to get a better understanding of Christianity and why Evangelicals have such a keen interest in public health. Or do they?"
