A New Philosophy of Better Health with Mona Antilla Carloni and Mariam Mohamed

What barriers to health might be in place for recent immigrants and how do we put people on a path to better health? At its core, this is a story of culture, understanding the whole person and their unique individual stories — things our health system is just not designed to do. Kurt talks with Mona Antilla Carloni and Mariam Mohamed, the creators of Intercultural Alliance, a program tailored to the health needs of Somali women and taught through community, food, and personal experiences. Mariam, a Somali immigrant herself, has worked in program analysis and evaluation for private and non-profit services. Mona comes from the creative design and marketing world, with a passion for wellness design and holistic health coaching. Learn how they work together to improve health disparities in Somali communities, one person at a time.
