35. Race & Public Health, Diversity & Equity in USA Water Polo, and Poetry as Healing with Mariko Rooks

In this episode, Yale University senior Mariko Rooks joins me on the podcast! Mariko is majoring in the History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health and Ethnicity, Race, and Migration and is a dual Master of Public Health candidate at the Yale School of Public Health in the Social and Behavioral Sciences. She is involved with a number of organizations like USA Water Polo, the Japanese American Citizens League, and Changing Womxn. Today, she talks about her Black, Japanese American, and Asian American identities; her research and thesis work in public health; her work in all of the organizations that I mentioned above; and...BTS??? Mariko also reads one of her amazing poems at the end of the episode!
