This was a great and very insightful convo!

it's exciting to hear from young women who are passionate about public health, health equity, and the future of health care.

Informative podcast! I enjoyed hearing your student articulate her thoughts on womanwood and share honest feelings about her own race and white privilege. And, I gained a better understanding of the difference between equality and equity.

I love how you engage with your students! We all gain so much from hearing conversations like these, I would have loved to take this class as an undergrad! It's very refreshing to meet professors like you!

Maranda, I am excited that the podcast is back, and cannot wait to hear more stories about equity. The way you partner with students and the community is so refreshing!

Really cool and easy to follow definition of intersectionality. And SO important. I've often found in my personal experience that this is a hard concept for people to grasp for whatever reason.

I need to be constantly asking myself this, and making decisions to act based on it. The idea of while even being aware of privilege and inequity, when/how are we allowing our privilege to advantage us? This conversation on weaponizing privilege is powerful.

I love this meme when I talk about equality versus equity, but I am curious if this meme does the concept justice. What does Equity Matters feel about this meme? https://interactioninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IISC_EqualityEquity.png Is this accurately capturing the nuance we need to convey the difference?

[LYRICS]

What one nigga won’t do 
another nigga gone do
I’m putting you on notice 
Another nigga done bought me roses

You wasn’t focused
So focus
I was with you through whatever
But we gotta elevate
You should want better
I love you don’t always mean forever
Don’t you know I’m pressure

Baby these 
Other niggas want you out the picture
They want me
Ready to commit to all my needs
I wanna stick it out with you
I’m gonna break it down for you
I hope you listening
Ain’t gone say it again

This is what I want
I just want more love
I want you to kiss on me and touch on me and rub
I want trips around the world
Going somewhere every weekend
Because I love the time that we spend
Together

Tired of dropping hints
Shit don’t make no sense
I’m telling you
Another nigga going do
Whatever I want him to

What one nigga won’t do 
another nigga gone do
I’m putting you on notice 
Another nigga done bought me roses

I’m telling you they want me
While you out here playing
They ain’t playing 
Don’t you see
They wanna give me money
Richard Mille, Patek Phillipe
Trips overseas

One after another
Don’t wanna fall for another 
Don’t wanna tell you another 
Don’t wanna argue another 
Don’t wanna cry for another 
Uhhh uhhh
Another
Go try that shit with another 
Nigga don’t call me another 

Aint gon answer my phone 
Cause I already know
Gone gimmie another excuse 
For why you can’t do 
What I need you to do 
Another 
Uhhh uhh
Yihee
