About Justine
Justine Ang Fonte, M.Ed, MPH, is an award-winning health educator, public speaker, consultant, ghostwriter, and professor based in New York City. We can all learn about health but need equal access to it. Justine frames pedagogy through the lens of Kimberlé Crenshaw's teachings on intersectionality and interrogates how our multifaceted identities shape how we experience health. Justine believes it is the responsibility of comprehensive health education to be about social justice because health is a human right. Through my teaching, I promote agency, activate empathy, fight for equity, embrace one's authentic self, and navigate care.
