008: The Intersection of Being Black, Sociology and Public Health with Benjamin Fields, PhD Student - a podcast by Omari Richins, MPH

Benjamin Fields, PhD Student, who recently graduated from his bachelors of science in Research, Development Sociology and Global Public Health Sciences. Coming from a single mother household, Benjamin didn't envision much of a future for himself outside of the being a student athlete. He had a non-traditional path of getting recruited for Cornell University for athletics. Wanting to pursue a career as a celebrity plastic surgeon, didn't start off well for his as he didn't do well in his first few semesters which is in part due to him having to navigate a completely new space in order to thrive. We talk about several black, not just African-American, topics and how his global experiences have shaped and expanded his mindset to what it is today. Benjamin has big dreams as he begins to pursue his PhD at the University of California, Berkley.
