Youth Voices and Global Health Part 2: From Mexico to Nigeria

Welcome to part 2 of our series focusing on youth voices in global health! Host Kemi Gbadamosi is joined by Andrea Cuéllar Covian from Mexico and Aaron Sunday from Nigeria, two powerful young advocates who bring lived experiences and bold ideas to the table. Aaron shares a deeply personal journey of loss and resilience that fuels his fight for access to sexual and reproductive health information and services. Andrea highlights the barriers young people in Mexico face, from stigma to lack of resources, and why open conversations at home and in communities are vital. Together, they spotlight the urgent need for comprehensive sexuality education, youth agency, and policies that truly reflect young people’s realities. Their stories remind us why the future of global health must be shaped by those it affects most.
