A Decade Ago, My First MPH Essay Was on Women’s Rights
On Intern‘l Women’s Day, I reflect on my first MPH assignment in 2015—an essay on FGM. I chose this because FGM isn’t just a health issue—it’s a violation of women’s rights. A decade later, the fight isn’t over. www.linkedin.com/posts/magedi...

Nature-based solutions are a game-changer: buffering shorelines from storms, shading cities and protecting them from flood, boosting crops with less water and fertilizer, and even improving human health. They're powerful, underused--and the future.
