About this Event

Zoë Harris is a Community Health Sciences Ph.D. candidate at the UIC School of Public Health. She is a citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and has worked with her tribe as well as urban Native populations on topics related to Indigenous wellness. Harris is also a Jamaican citizen and has family roots in Selma, Alabama. Therefore, she strives to bring an intersectional lens to all her work. During her presentation, Harris will discuss her lived experiences as an afro-indigenous woman and how her intersectional identities have influenced her life.
