Moving Upstream

In this episode of Moving Upstream, Prevention Institute’s Vibhuti Kacholia and La’Quana Williams explore what it means to expand the boundaries of evidence in public health. They discuss UCEE—Uplifting Contextual and Experiential Evidence—a framework that challenges the field’s overreliance on quantitative data, and La’Quana’s narrative case study series A Mercy in the Telling, which positions memory, story, and place as legitimate forms of evidence. Together, they explore how research, lived experience, and art can be interwoven into a more human framework for equity and justice.
