It’s called "Fighting to Breathe."
It features a conversation with Nicole Fabricant, Ph.D.
Nicole is a professor of Anthropology and director of Latin American and Latino/a Studies at Towson University in Maryland on the east coast of the U.S. Her research focuses on issues of environmental toxicity and community activism. She is author of the 2022 book, “Fighting to Breathe: Race, Toxicity, and The Rise of Youth Activism in Baltimore.”
You will hear Nicole talk about the book and:
· How she has worked with youth in South Baltimore who have used creative forms of activism to push back against serious chemical pollution that impacts their health.
· How many people in South Baltimore suffer from asthma and likely undiagnosed MCS.
· How it is important for everyone, not just people whose health is clearly affected by chemicals, to act.
