Spotlight Health 2016, Episode 4

In the fourth episode of our spring series on critical health issues, host Elise Thatcher talks with two guests about the value of truly being yourself, even when it’s challenging or dangerous.

Guest Bisi Alimi explains the importance of being out of the closet in his native Nigeria, even though it meant he ultimately had to flee to London. Alimi now works to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS in his home country.

Our second guest takes a look at how embracing who you are can pay off. Scientist and entrepreneur Vivienne Ming is CEO and co-founder of the education company Socos Learning. Host Elise Thatcher talks with Ming about her passion for maximizing human potential and how that overlaps with her own personal journey.
