In this empowering episode of Beyond the Diagnosis, we sit down with Kimberly Richardson, Founder of the Black Cancer Collaborative and a fierce advocate for patient empowerment and equity in clinical research. Drawing from her personal journey and years of advocacy, Kimberly shares essential insights on how patients—especially those from historically underrepresented communities—can take an active role in their care and in the clinical trial process.
We’ll explore the importance of self-advocacy in navigating a diagnosis, how to educate yourself about clinical trials, and why making a direct connection with the Principal Investigator (PI) can change the game. Kimberly provides practical advice on how to prepare for these conversations, ask the right questions, and push past barriers that often prevent patients from participating in research.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to reclaim their power in the healthcare system and for professionals looking to understand how to better support patient agency at every step of the journey.
