????????UCLA graduate Rae Spriggs got their masters in Public Health to better understand the issues that affected their home in San Diego. They hope that in 10 years, there will be no need for CDLS, but for now, they are deeply committed to helping curious students of color graduate in STEM fields. Part of our storytelling as medicine project, each video shares a person's unique perspectives as an emerging environmental scientist in a field not built for them, at a time where they are desperately needed. They cover themes of identity, outreach, and mentorship, and are meant to support people finding strength by sharing their stories (medicine for themselves), and by inspiring others (medicine for people watching it), that helps to combat the traumas and harmful stereotypes of the dominant climate. Check out our video story telling project, where Rae tells their story. https://lnkd.in/gvVMkz9M #publichealth #diversity #stem #diversityinstem #urbanplanning
