Hujambo, beautiful people! In this episode of Espresso Talk Today, we confront the subtle yet pervasive racial chaos in the healthcare system.
Join host Ama-Robin as she uncovers the microaggressions, hidden biases, and other red flags that Black people often face during medical treatment. From dismissal of pain to offensive stereotypes, we get real about how racism affects our health. This episode equips you with the knowledge to identify when your care might be compromised by medical racism.
Empower yourself, share with your community, and get ready to take control of your healthcare journey.
Trigger warning: We are presenting real-life experiences of medical racism. This may trigger trauma or stress. Please practice self-care. We will take 3 short breather breaks during this episode.
Next week, we’ll explore how to confront and challenge these situations in healthful and effective ways. Don’t miss it!
