Sustained Activism with Dr. Bryan Leyva
Manage episode 342017431 series 3279539
Dr. Bryan Leyva is an AfroLatinx physician activist who studies the intersections of medicine, racism, and social inequality. He has a background in community organizing, social justice art, and public health research, and sees all his work as being part of a larger effort to decolonize and diversify medicine and achieve equity in healthcare. His research, rooted in social justice frameworks and community engagement, has been published in journals like NEJM, JAMA Internal Medicine, Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, Social Science & Medicine, and Implementation Science. He has been featured in several news outlets including @NBCNightlyNews. He is bold, honest, and not afraid to stay present in his truth and we are so happy he agreed to come on the show. This good doctor believes that sustained activism is rooted in something deeper than outrage and we are eager to find out what that is.
What You Will Hear:
- How Dr. Leyva identifies nationality, culturally, racially, politically and ethnicity
- Black populations in Latin America
- Immigration
- Code switching vs being your authentic self
- Activism
Quotes:
“I believe in the liberation of all black people and whether it's in the United States, whether it's in the Caribbean, whether it's in Latin America, whether it's in Africa, we all have very similar struggles.”
“People of color are the global majority and until we start acting like that, We are not gonna find the economic power that we honestly have, even in poverty.” -JD
“I don't think people of color have privilege. That's not my language. My language is that some have more access than others, but privilege in America especially is totally aligned with skin color. “- JD
“ The world is gonna wanna make you what they want you to be. Remember, and like who you are, what community you belong to and why you do what you do and who you're doing it for, I really think keeps you grounded so that when things happen, you're not shaken.”
“We must build on what's already been done.”
