Born in Akron, Ohio, Dr. Quinyatta Mumford has dedicated her life to bettering communities through environmental health research and family-focused educational programs. The women who raised her, in particular her grandmother, instilled in her the values of love and perseverance. With this foundation, Quinyatta earned degrees in biology, psychology, business administration, and public health - the first of her family to attend college. Her Doctorate in Public Health focused on community and addressing health disparity. That research ultimately evolved into Village Public Health, a youth-centered organization that seeks to create space for young people to thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally. As a single mother of three, Dr. Mumford has the drive to create initiatives that approach public health not simply as a matter of personal care, but as a familial and communal responsibility, and her results speak volumes. Her work with the Arkansas Department of Health led to a reduction in cases of lead poisoning in children by prioritizing prevention and accountability. For all that her impressive resume paints the picture of a hyper-focused go-getter, Dr. Quinyatta insists on the importance of slowing down and finding moments to celebrate life. Her hobbies dovetail with her professional values, so Quinyatta spends her free time outdoors with her children or organizing community events around art and storytelling.
