Join the Texas Organizing Project or TOP for a conversation about the racial bias that still exists within the health care system and what we can do to help take racism out of health care! The system isn’t broken. It is working the way it was designed to work. For years now, we have heard about the poor access to medical care that Black and Brown families are subjected to. We talk about the price of healthcare and how unaffordable it is for black and brown communities. We also hear about maternal mortality cases increasing, particularly in communities of color, particularly with black women. But have you ever asked yourself why? How being black or brown puts us at a higher risk of being dismissed, incorrectly treated, or with a wrong diagnosis or even an incorrect prognosis, regardless of income. Serena Williams, a fantastic and world-renowned tennis player, almost joined this statistic when she gave birth to her daughter, Olympia.

El sistema no está roto. Está funcionando de la manera en que fue diseñado para funcionar. Durante años, hemos escuchado sobre el pobre acceso a la atención médica a la que están sometidas las familias de color. Hablamos sobre el precio de la atención médica y lo inasequible que es para las comunidades Afroamericanas y Latinas. También escuchamos acerca de casos de mortalidad materna que aumentan particularmente en comunidades de color, particularmente con mujeres afroamericanas. ¿Pero alguna vez te has preguntado por qué? Cómo ser gente de color nos pone en mayor riesgo de ser tratados incorrectamente o con un diagnóstico incorrecto o incluso un pronóstico incorrecto, independientemente de la cuenta bancaria. Serena Williams, una tenista increíble y reconocida mundialmente, casi se unió a esta estadística cuando dio a luz a su hija, Olympia. ¡Únase a nosotros en una conversación para hablar sobre el prejuicio racial que todavía existe dentro del sistema de salud y sobre lo que podemos hacer para ayudar a eliminar el racismo de la atención médica!

While I seriously consider mainlining Dunkin Donuts coffee in my bedroom closet...... I talk out loud to myself about how I have strived for a routine for mental health. Hey! What's up with portland: A digestible little break down of what is going on and why it matters, with vocabulary and a few amendment refreshers. I attempt to calm it back down a bit with an interesting fact revealed in the excerpt from This is an UpRising: How Nonviolent Revolt is Shaping the Twenty-first Century.

Thank you for joining me in this crazy endeavor. I have no idea what I'm doing, I am squirrel brained, and I more than likely cuss entirely too much for your taste. It is also highly probable that I am going to make you uncomfortable. In my first ever podcast, I share with you how COVID has affected me and why I started this podcast. I share with you my very first Shit My Mom Says segment, where my mom and I have a blunt conversation covering a range of topics. I wrap it up by highlighting a book I consider significant The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Time of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander.
