BONUS: Dr. Anne Rimoin Talks Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca's 'E Moyo'

DR. ANNE RIMOIN — professor of Epidemiology at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health director of the university’s Center for Global and Immigrant Health – returns for some more 5AM StoryTalk. In this bonus episode, she discusses a foundational piece of art from her life: Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca’s song “E MOYO” from their 2014 album La Rumba SoYo. Anne has a unique relationship to the song, as you’ll find. She'll continue discussing her experiences as a scientist in Congo, including how she acquired a Congolese name that translates to “The Woman Who Never Gives Up”.This bonus episode was released half a year earlier than it became available on Spotify.
