Tell us about you…
Hi, My name is Najib. I’m a Health Studies major at the University of Washington. I wanted to join the ELP because I wanted to have a better understanding of health studies in a professional space. I wanted to see firsthand what that looks like. My goals for the ELP were to sharpen my skills with video, in terms of coming up with ideas and concepts, storyboarding, editing, etc.

Connecting women in public health and global health is essential for addressing the gender pay gap, promoting women's representation in leadership, fostering professional development, advocating for gender equity, and building a more inclusive and supportive work environment. Collaborative efforts among women can lead to positive changes that benefit individuals, organizations, and society as a whole.
Welcome to Let’s Talk Public Health!
It has been a minute since my last letter. Several things have happened, but here are my top ten highlights:
Public health professionals are often called to do the work that they do. They are dedicated to protecting and improving the health of communities. They are often driven by passion and fueled by a desire to make a tangible difference in people's lives. But who are they?
In the U.S., the public health workforce is aligned somewhat closely to the U.S. population in terms of diversity, but a major difference is the representation of women. Women make up the majority of the U.S. public health workforce (79%). From 2005 to 2016, 70-73% of all public health degrees in the U.S. were awarded to women.
The University of Maryland School of Public Health (SPH) Alumni Network has awarded its newest honor, the Public Health Emerging and Engaging Leaders (PHEEL) Award, to four outstanding recent graduates. Among the awardees is Let’s Talk Public Health founder and CEO Monique Thornton.
