This week Dr. Correa is joined by Matt and Kanlaya Cauli, who share Kanlaya's story of experiencing two massive strokes in May 2020 before being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Matt describes his journey of learning to be Kanlaya's caretaker and shares his advice for coping with mental health struggles and the challenges of being a primary caregiver. Dr. Correa then speaks with Dr. Olajide Williams, vascular neurologist at Columbia University and founder of Hip-Hop Public Health.
