In this powerful episode of Nah, Not All Hood, Dr. Keiji Fukuda—former Assistant Director-General of the World Health Organization and globally respected epidemiologist—joins Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley for an eye-opening conversation. From his global travels to frontline pandemic response, Dr. Fukuda unpacks the social and environmental roots of health inequity, particularly within Black communities. They explore vaccine skepticism, mask mandates, why some illnesses never seem to disappear in certain populations, and how public health has been politicized.

Dr. Fukuda opens up about his creative passions like cello and filmmaking, and how spirituality and balance keep him grounded. The episode also digs deep into pandemic preparedness, why pulling out of WHO would devastate global safety nets, and what’s really at stake when science, politics, and personal freedom collide.

This episode is a masterclass in clarity, compassion, and cultural awareness from someone who has been in the room where the world’s biggest health decisions are made.
