The best public health research doesn't just study communities—it's led by them. Brianna Smith, Program Manager at Performance Hypothesis and Project Co-Director for the Equitable Vaccines initiative, brings lived experience that is often missing from public health leadership. As an African American woman with deep roots in the communities this research serves, Brianna's approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a commitment to dismantling the structural inequities that shape health outcomes.
