In part one of this episode of the North Sound Voices podcast, Liz welcomes Soma Saha, MD, MS, President and CEO of Well-being and Equity in the World (WE in the World) & Executive Lead of the Well Being In the Nation (WIN) Network. Together, they explore the transformative power of reframing "social determinants of health" as "vital conditions"—the essential elements every community needs to thrive, such as humane housing, meaningful work, and a sense of belonging.

Soma shares her journey and emphasizes that true sustainability comes from building relationships and civic capacity, not just maintaining programs or funding. They discuss how leading with love and fostering civic engagement can create inclusive and resilient communities.

Through real-life examples from Pine Ridge, South Dakota, and Black farmers in North Carolina, Soma illustrates the impact of community-led transformation. Join us for an inspiring conversation about creating a world where everyone can thrive, becoming better ancestors, and the audacity to dream of a brighter future!
