Thank you for taking the time to listen to another episode of Conversations With A Brown Girl!
This week I present the findings from the study, Superwoman Schema: African American Women’s Views on Stress, Strength and Health from the National Center for Biotechnology Information. After interviewing 48 Black women ages 19-72 with various backgrounds, they wanted to know what goes into being a Strong Black Woman and how it impacted their health. The study is broken up into 4 categories:
1. What are the characteristics of a Strong Black Woman
2. What factors that contribute to being a Strong Black Woman
3. What are the perceived benefits fo being a Strong Black Woman
4. What are the perceived liabilities of being a Strong Black Woman
I'll be going through the researchers findings while providing quotes from the participants that support the information from the study. Later in the episode, I will summarize what it all means and how being a Strong Black Women is bad for your health. To end the episode on a positive note, I give you suggestions on how to balance being a Strong Black Woman with being a Healthy Strong Black Woman.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
