The Health EquiTEA Podcast brings attention to racial health inequities that disproportionately impact Black communities and highlights local and national efforts to address them. By combining historical and contemporary analyses with first-hand stories of advocates, activists, and community organizations, we elevate grassroots Black voices and on-the-ground work as we put their expert knowledge in conversation with academic research and theory.
