Episode 59 - Medical Injustice in MS Care Part One


Listen Later

For some reason, MS is considered a white person's disease. So I wanted to find out how that might affect the diagnostic process - and treatment options - for MSers of color. 

For the first part of this short series, I spoke to comedian Rosani Christy, Dr. Folake Taylor, and MS advocates Dawn Morgan and Damian Washington. 

We talked about their own diagnosis stories, the effect of the pandemic and Black Lives Matter, what it’s like for them to have a chronic illness, and some things many people just don’t get!

I wanted to understand more and give a voice to some people that deserve to share, and it was an enlightening and beautiful conversation.
