We acknowledge how many of you—especially my young audience—feel nervous, afraid, or even powerless when facing medical appointments.
Today, we're shifting gears from recognizing the red flags of medical racism to discussing real, practical steps you can take to protect your health and advocate for yourself. From finding a culturally competent doctor to using the B.R.A.I.N. system, I’m giving you the tools you need to reclaim your power in healthcare.
Your voice matters, and I'm here to remind you that you have the right to ask questions, speak up, and demand the best care. We'll break down strategies to help you prepare, stay calm, and confront any dismissive behavior you encounter. Remember, Black health is Black empowerment.
Tune in and empower yourself to take control of your health journey!
