For Black History Month we are excited to celebrate the fabulous Black Nerds that are part of Those Nerdy Girls.
Today we are highlighting MacKenzie (Kenzie) Isaac, MA, CHES®
Kenzie is a social epidemiologist and health communications specialist who loves discussing all things health equity. Her specific research passions are the sociology of body image; racial/ethnic minority mental health; the complex relationship between faith, spirituality, and mental health; community organizing for health promotion (particularly youth mobilization and development); built environment interventions for health promotion; and the reproductive health care of Black women and girls.
Kenzie previously completed degrees in Sociology and Health Education and a Master’s degree in Modelling for Global Health at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. She is now at Oxford completing a doctorate in Population Health. When she is not studying or writing for TNG, you can find her diving into a new dystopian novel, trying really hard to keep her plants alive, or daydreaming of retiring into beekeeping.
