Ancestral Trauma, Health and Well-Being with Tina Sacks, PhD.

Tina Sacks, PhD., is an associate professor in the School of Social Welfare at the University of California, Berkeley. Her fields of interest include racial inequities in health, social determinants of health, and poverty and inequality; in other words, how people’s experience of being othered affects their overall well-being.  Tina’s professional work emerges from her own experience of being othered as a mixed-raced person and member of the Black and Jewish community. At the core of her work is the idea that love is really what matters and that we must care for one another as humans. Tina reflects on her familial history and experience, discusses the roots of her focus on racial and gender inequities in healthcare, and proudly shares her sense of survivorship.
