If I Could Change One Thing: Huy Tran on Community, Policy, and the Pursuit of Equity
Episode 4
Monday, 19 May, 2025
In this episode of If I Could Change One Thing, our guest speaker Huy Tran is interviewed by Dr. Brittnie Bloom and two members of the SDSU podcast team, Serena Payne and Jaeden Howard. Together, they explore the power of lived experience in shaping public health and policy. Huy shares his personal journey from working in accounting to advocacy, a move that was fueled by the death of his brother and the unmet needs he has seen within the Vietnamese community. Also discussed are the systemic barriers that refugees and immigrants from Vietnam experience, and Huy's work to build a nonprofit that serves this population. Huy offers honest reflections on civic engagement and the everyday ways we can show up for one another. Tune in for a powerful conversation about inclusion and the importance of community-driven change. Of note, this episode includes serious themes related to grief and loss.
