Chioma Nnaji

A candidate for a Masters of Public Health - International Health at the Boston University School of Public Health, Chioma expressed an interest in studying the spiritual/religious and cultural traditions of the African Diaspora, in part inspired by her own Nigerian/African-American background. Her interests include examining the differences between Western health practices and traditional African health practices, researching the effectiveness of African/African-based healing traditions, and integrating these practices in the health care delivery system. A long-time student of traditional African dance, Chioma has also examined the role of dance and music in African daily life and healing customs.
