How we think informs how we speak and can inform how we act. Stigmatizing language about weight can perpetuate weight stigma and weight bias and lead to inadequate care. In order to improve how we talk about weight, we have to first understand how we think about weight.

Let’s Talk Public Health is committed to fostering growth, inspiration, and innovation among the next generation of public health professionals. Our Experiential Learning Program (ELP) provides opportunities for public health undergraduate and graduate students to enhance their health communication skills in a way that reflects their interests and allows for creative exploration and professional growth.
In this edition of "Let’s Talk Public Health This Way," we delve into the Welcome to the Futures exhibit at the Smithsonian Arts + Industries Building in Washington, DC. While not explicitly focused on public health, this exhibition serves as a compelling example of how health communication can transcend traditional boundaries.
Let’s Talk Public Health is passionate about creating a world where everyone understands what public health is and why public health matters. We are making this vision a reality with the launch of the Let's Talk Public Health Academy.
Tell us about you…
My name is Felicia Avevor, and I recently graduated from SUNY Albany with a Bachelor’s in Public Health. I learned about the Let’s Talk Public Health Experiential Learning Program (ELP) through the undergraduate Public Health Blackboard page, where job and internship opportunities were posted. I wanted to join the ELP because of a health communication class I had taken during my senior year. I wanted to be able to apply the things I had learned in that class and create my own social media campaign. I hoped to use what I learned in that class to create an effective campaign that would educate my target audience on the importance of maternal and child health and learn to create health media that was easy to understand.
