BAODAD

Planting Seeds of Story, Harvesting Truth and Healing

BAODAD stands for Beauty + Ashes: Of Dust and Dawn. It was born from the belief that health is more than data, and stories are more than words. Behind every statistic is a life, behind every conflict a cry, behind every silence an untold truth. It is a platform where personal reflections meet academic insights, and where global and public health issues are told with honesty, clarity, and courage.

It began with one assignment, one story, one seed. Now, it has grown into a living archive of truth, pain, and hope.

BAODAD isn’t just my story, it’s ours. If you read something here that resonates, I invite you to reflect, comment, or share your own story. Every voice matters in this garden.
