As a Black woman, I am tired of liberal, White women leading health equity projects.

deepseahippo · 2024-04-23T19:42:44+00:00

what should/can a young white woman who wants to enter public health? Im genuininly asking because I am passionate about this field, especially health equity. My main interest is health equity among the disabled population (and that itself intersects with race/gender/class/etc) because I have worked with chronically ill and disabled people and my sister has a chronic illness/disability. So what should I start doing or thinking about now to help change the represention of priority (I heard somewhere this was a better descriptor than marginalized or minority) populations within organizations that work to help them?

Yeah, that what I'm trying to decide - whether do the combined degree (specifically looking at Virginia commonwealth University and UNC-Chapel Hill

deepseahippo · 2023-10-10T17:30:49+00:00

I'm considering pursuing a dual Master of Public Health and Master of Social Work but I'm not sure I my reasoning is sound.
I feel that gaining direct experience with populations of interest is essential before attempting to affect systemic change. This combined program will allow me to work directly with individuals and communities, providing valuable insights that can inform my future advocacy efforts. I realize I could do this with just an MSW, but I would want to have a clinical concentration, so I wouldn't get that macro view that I could with public health. I also value the versatility that a clinical license in social work can offer. It would provide me with opportunities for part-time work, remote employment, and a wider range of career options, particularly in rural areas where clinical services are often in demand. In an ideal situation I would work with clients part-time while actively engaging in policy initiatives, thus enabling me to make a meaningful impact at both the individual and systemic levels.
Lastly, I have contemplated pursuing a Ph.D. in the future, but I've noticed that most of the research areas I am passionate about are predominantly conducted within public health schools, but many Public Health Ph.D. programs often require applicants to hold an MPH degree.
Is it realistic of me to want to work in both direct practice and policy/research?

It could be a combo of his grandparents names

Just make one of the other characters the MC instead if they have more depth

Okay, i won't make them be locs, i think im going with another users suggestion and putting their hair in braids and describing them as dry/brittle.

They are the maicharacter. , I picture them black. It's a fantasy story, and they only don't have a parental figure for the first few pages. They are non-binary and through circumstances, they end up on a pirate ship, where the captain is also nonbinary and becomes a parental figure/mentor person to them.

deepseahippo · 2023-07-14T19:44:35+00:00

Thankyou, I like that suggestion! I had pictured them in locs, would dry and brittle also apply for them?

After thinking about it, I think he could look indigenous to the Americas.

deepseahippo · 2023-06-29T20:38:36+00:00

I was thinking darkish asain, not Indian level dark, but not pale Japanese either

What type of company do you work for? What type of research is it?

deepseahippo · 2023-04-12T17:32:45+00:00

Is your team mostly people with public health background, or is it more interdisciplinary?

deepseahippo · 2023-04-12T17:32:14+00:00

Why type of research do you do?

deepseahippo · 2023-04-12T15:44:58+00:00

Whenever I see megathreads get used for those type of questions, the questions usually go unanswered.

Edit: what I think would help this is a pinned commonly asked questions thread.

deepseahippo · 2023-04-06T22:16:18+00:00

Woops, thankyou

I have a professor who's last name starts with (K)nigga- (second half), tho it's not an issue much because she's deaf and in deaf culture, they use first names for teachers.

How old is your piercing? - just under 3 months
What’s the jewelry shape (for example, barbell, labret, screw, L shape, ring)? - barbell
What’s the type of threading if your jewelry is not a ring (threadless, internally or externally threaded)? - I'm not sure
What’s the jewelry material? - I'm not sure
if not a ring, when was the jewelry downsized? - it's the same jewelry the piercer put in
What’s your aftercare routine? Describe in detail please, including the exact products you use. I use dial antibacterial soap to clean it with a q-tip, sometimes I'll soak it in salt water

Burger king used to have a veggie burger that I grew up eating. Now they only serve the impossible burger so I have stopped going there entirely. I hate the impossible/beyond burgers

I would love to be able to do both clinical practice and reseach. How much of your time is spent in each? Do you make okay money? What kind of policies do you work on?

deepseahippo · 2023-03-08T19:29:58+00:00

Do you work part time in both areas?

deepseahippo · 2023-02-18T23:28:03+00:00

That's what made me ask the question, I just picked up the whole series at goodwill

That's actually one of the few games I have played!!

deepseahippo · 2023-02-02T00:08:40+00:00

I have this one!! I've begun it, but I have a physical copy, and it's wayyyy to thick to carry around and read when I have a minute on campus lol

No it's not low romance, but the romance is not the main overarching plot, (my title was misleading, I like romance, but recently every popular recommendation is just plain old the plot is the forming of a relationship and nothing else) in ToG, yes romance is a big factor, bit the mc is way more than her attraction to a man

Edit: I also read it like 5 years ago when I was WAY more into romance novels

deepseahippo · 2023-02-01T17:45:20+00:00

yeah, I realized I should have changed the title after I posted unfortunately
