On this episode, I hear from Shira Goldstein about IsraAID and the work it does around the world for disaster survivors, victims of pandemics, and much more.
Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Shira has spent her professional career in pursuit of equity, of localization, and in garnering community-led movements responding to some of the world’s biggest challenges. In the last 15 years she focused these efforts with both a micro and macro perspective, running the gambit from building and managing a clinic in Ghana for 8 years, to leading 7 international emergency response missions.
Shira has a strong public health background, with a MSC in Global Health, but also rooted in experience during the Ebola pandemic, multiple cholera outbreaks, water and hygiene projects, and now the COVID-19 response. However, her passions extend beyond this scope and into examining the basic precepts of human rights including gender equality, access to essential services, and equity of opportunity. She now brings these experiences to the complex question of how we as a society can drive holistic support for our most vulnerable communities in the USA, both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
