In "Reclaim your Health while Preserving your Culture," the speaker advocates blending modern wellness practices with cultural traditions. The talk underscores the value of ancestral wisdom in maintaining health, promoting a holistic approach to well-being that honors cultural heritage while embracing some aspects of contemporary knowledge about nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness. Dr. Jovonni Spinner is the CEO of Beacon Public Health. She is an award-winning health equity strategist and thought leader with a deep passion for improving health equity across the lifespan through research, communication, multi-sector partnerships, programming, and leadership. She believes health is a basic human right and uses her voice to support inclusive public health programs that support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Growing up she saw firsthand how health inequities impacted her family and community which is where her pursuit of health equity began. She has dedicated her work towards dismantling systemic barriers by helping organizations and public health professionals deliver dynamic, equity-driven, culturally tailored public health programs that meet the health needs of BIPOC communities. “Infusing culture into health programs and policies is precisely what’s needed to improve health outcomes for BIPOC communities”, she says. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
