Speakers
Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha
Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha received her bachelor’s and Master of Public Health degrees from the University of Michigan and her medical degree from Michigan State University College of Human Medicine (MSUCHM). She completed her residency at Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit, where she was chief resident. She is currently an associate professor of pediatrics and human development at MSUCHM.
Her new bestselling book What the Eyes Don’t See: A Story of Crisis, Resistance, and Hope in an American City is a riveting, beautifully rendered account of a shameful disaster— the Flint water crisis—that became a tale of activism and hope. Hanna-Attisha tells the story of a city whose residents came together to fight for justice, self-determination, and the right to build a better world for their—and all of our—children.
