Welcome to another enriching episode of the "I Am Dad" podcast! Today, we are honored to have Sundjata Aya, a dedicated father, community servant, and social policy/public health researcher, joining us. Sundjata’s passion lies in improving family and health outcomes, particularly for disadvantaged communities, and promoting equity in all areas of his work.

With expertise in family and fatherhood initiatives, Sundjata leads research, technical assistance, and the development of tools that empower programs to make a real difference in the lives of fathers and families. His background in community-based participatory research and public health reflects his deep commitment to reducing disparities and supporting healthier communities.
