- Documentary
In our fifth episode, we introduce our final topic, Public Health, as seen through the eyes of an adoptee and immigrant rights activist. This episode features Taneka Hye Wol Jennings in conversation with interviewer Kaylen Brandt. In the photo she shares, Jennings stands in front of the US Capitol Building, about to be willingly arrested as part of a Citizenship for All protest. For Jennings, citizenship is a public health issue, determining who does and doesn’t have access to health care. As a Korean American and a transracial, inter-country adoptee, she is dedicated to adoptee and immigrant rights work, as well as building authentic solidarity with others who have been marginalized by systems and structures that perpetuate injustice.
