What We're Reading & Hearing

The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Dr. Rheeda Walker provides an in-depth perspective on Black mental health in America, as well as resources for African Americans to heal from psychological distress, find community, and undo years of stigma and marginalization.

The Shot - History, Hesitancy and Hope

Jemele Hill’s podcast episode unpacks how the medical community’s historical and current mistreatment of Black people has fueled vaccine reluctance. She breaks down myths about the vaccine and how the experts’ messaging can address the distrust. Guests include medical experts, policy makers, and the Reverend Al Sharpton.

The Political Determinants of Health

Daniel E. Dawes argues that political determinants of health create the social drivers—including poor environmental conditions, inadequate transportation, unsafe neighborhoods, and lack of healthy food options—that affect all other dynamics of health. Understanding these determinants will better equip us all to develop and implement actionable solutions to close the health gap.
