Hi friends and followers! I’m excited to share a new podcast interview today.

The Health Promotion Practice (HPP) Journal Podcast

Host Dr. Antonio Gardner and the podcast team were kind enough to invite myself and co-author Nailah Henry to join the podcast during Disability Pride Month (July 2026) to talk about our recent publication, “Advancing Accessibility to Improve Civic Health Equity.”

Key discussion points:

1. Why voting and other forms of civic engagement are so important for public health.

2. Barriers to voting for people with disabilities

3. Ideas for making civic engagement a more equitable experience.

4. The role of public health professionals in civic health equity work.

5. Actions we can take right now to support civic health equity (and why this topic is so timely!)

Please listen and share with those who may be interested.

I’d love to hear from you!
