adrienne maree brown
I am a digital and performance storyteller passionate about decolonial and anti-racist public health practice and research. I use creativity and narrative to identify and address fundamental causes of health inequity. I am a Public Health PhD student in the Department of Health Promotion & Policy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. As an applied theatre artist, writer, and percussionist, I believe in the healing and transformative power of the arts.
I use an intersectional, anti-racist, social determinants lens to collaborate with people from different experiences and walks of life. I use theatre, poetry, storytelling, imaginative play, music, dance, and other creative methods as a means of "bending the future" together, and as forms of inquiry and analysis. While working to understand how systems and social environments reproduce health inequities, I use arts-based and participatory methods to promote more caring, collaborative, and community-accountable approaches to health promotion. Currently interested in death, grief, and bereavement, as well as youth and young adult mental health.
