Isabel Iino is an American Studies and Economic and Social History student at Barnard College, Columbia University. With the support of the Laidlaw Foundation, she explored the emergence of "voodoo" doctors, magico-religious healers, their relationship to Black diasporic healing practices, and how magico-religious healers acted as a form of resistance against medical racism for the Black Harlem community during the early 20th century.
