Hey y'all, welcome back to Eco-Shique. My name is Laura Diaz. Really good to have you here for my favorite type of episode lately, and it's a book club. Most recently, we read Poisoned Water, how the citizens of Flint, Michigan fought for their lives and warned the nation by Candy J. Cooper with

Mark Aronson. And we read this month with India Urban Choi. I love India's content. I found her on

TikTok. I found out she was a listener of the podcast. We've connected, y'all, she is so cool.

She's so smart. She's so well spoken. And I am so,

so thankful to have this opportunity to chat with her. If you're not familiar with India,

she is a content creator. She goes by the tag BME Queen. She is a PhD student in biomedical

engineering. She loves to read. She is passionate about issues around

BIPA communities. And she is also a big sustainability advocate. So I've learned a lot from her.

If you haven't seen any of your videos, go check them out. She is a really fabulous, eloquent,

concise voice to learn from. And she really stayed true to that in today's episode.

I think that y'all will really enjoy it. We both mentioned that we didn't know all the details of

the Flint water crisis before we read this book. And I am really glad that we did read it and

India recommended it because I feel like I learned a lot.

And she also expressed a similar sentiment.

It was a really good experience.

And I feel like we covered a lot of ground in the book club episode.

I think you will learn something.

If you're new around here, let me tell you about book club.

We do read a book every other month here on the podcast.

Last month, we read a book every other month here on the podcast. Last month, we read a book every single month.

And this year we've done every other month per y'all's recommendations. And I love book club

episodes because they're pretty chatty. They are not structured conversations. It's me and
