Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts
04-01-2023

Many people will say that racism in America doesn't happen; if you work hard, you can get where you want. Data will tell you everything you need to know. You have to be willing to follow the data instead of the narrative you created. Join me as I start a series of the "what ifs" that are always said, but the data contradict what we should be doing, and it's not happening.

March 25, 2023Racial Segregation
Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts
03-25-2023

When something happens, it is documented in history. Nothing can change about the events that occurred. When people believe that you can re-write history, say a lot about their character and the denials that they have. It also shows that they are willing to look good rather than learn the horrible things that may have happened and correct them. We are witnessing politicians re-writing history to make it cleaner or better. What are they doing? Join me to find out.

March 18, 2023Medical Racism - Denied Access
Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts
03-18-2023

Black Americans are living longer, according to CDC statistics. The death rate declined by about 25% in 17 years, mainly for those 65 and older. This may be an improvement, but new studies show that younger Black Americans live and die of many conditions found in White Americans at older ages. It shows in Black Americans in the ranges of 20s - 40s. Some diseases start early but lead to death earlier in life. These issues can be caused by economic and social conditions that are more common among Black Americans than White Americans. Healthcare can be an example of this discrepancy. Black Americans should be able to see a doctor about their health concerns, but reports show they do not because of doctors' costs. Overall, all Americans should have equal opportunities to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

March 11, 2023Medical Racism - Toxic (Tox-Sick) Workplace
Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts
03-11-2023

Workplace toxicity is alarming, especially among women of color. Women are physically sick from workplace stress. Two out of every 3 women are battling chronic stress-related conditions. It is beyond burnout. Women endure microaggressions, are passed over for promotions, and do more work than their job description asks. This type of situation can affect mental and physical health. It is the reason why women of color get sick.
