In the latest Black Health 365 podcast, Jackie and Britt welcome guest, Thomas Silvera, MSHS-PH. Thomas shares the heartbreaking story about his son, Elijah-Alavi, who tragically passed away in 2017 after having a grilled cheese meal at daycare, which caused an anaphylactic reaction. He gives a detailed account of the events that took place and shares more about his advocacy work on public health and food allergies and asthma as well as the importance of education and training. He also talks about the Elijah-Alavi Foundation and the significant work that they are doing across the country.  Thomas also discusses the successful Elijah's Echo initiative and the groundbreaking passing of Elijah's Law. Jackie and Britt hope to raise awareness about the resources provided by the Elijah-Alavi Foundation and promote the safety of children with food allergies and asthma in our community.

Thomas Silvera is a dynamic public speaker, accomplished actor, and dedicated advocate for public health. As the CEO/Co-Founder of the Eliah-Alavi Foundation, he utilizes his extensive background as a Certified Surgical Technologist and his Master of Science degree in Health Science, with a focus on Public Health.

Thomas's advocacy journey began with the passage of Elijah's Law in New York State, named after his beloved late son, Elijah-Alavi. He played a pivotal role in the passage of Elijah’s Law, the groundbreaking legislation signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo on September 12, 2019, which requires all childcare programs in New York to adhere to state food allergy guidelines, ensuring the prevention, recognition, and effective response to life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. He also extended this protection to Illinois and Virginia. 

Thomas has partnered with Belay to develop a nationwide food allergy certification program and works with his ex-wife to address health disparities. He is pursuing a Doctoral Degree in Health Sciences to effect positive change at a systemic level. Thomas's exceptional leadership and commitment to marginalized communities have positioned him as a driving force in public health.
