Bienvenidos/Welcome! I'm a young Hispanic, Canary Islander woman pursuing a career in medicine and incorporating my lived experiences and ideals about health equity into the health field. I will talk about my journey and interview other inspiring minority medical students and professionals. My goal is to make space for those who have been told that they don't belong.
An inspiring conversation with health equity activist and Harvard medical student Lianet Vazquez. Lia explains the multifaceted nature of her identity and her sense of belonging. We talk about racism, specifically in the Hispanic community, how we met, her journey with health equity and the current projects she's leading. Join us for a motivational, emotional and sometimes funny conversation.
Today I introduce myself and the podcast. I talk about The Canary Islands where I'm from, my experiences as a young Hispanic woman and as an islander; what has brought me here today, and how I want to contribute to the podcast World in the future. This episode touches upon how our identities shape our reality, and importantly, our health; as well as the interactions with the healthcare field.
