Usually on MProper Mimi when we talk about knowing your triggers it has to do with dealing with trauma. Not this time! For this episode “knowing your triggers” we are referring to those things that make our allergies and/or asthma flare up. I was able to speak with an allergy specialist, Dr. Lakiea Wright to have an important conversation about her journey to becoming a specialist in the field of allergies. Other topics also include
- Adult onset allergies
- the importance of knowing our triggers
- racial disparities when it comes to allergies & asthma diagnosis
- and what our families and caregivers can do to help ensure children are safe when it comes to these subjects
We hope you enjoy this conversation and find it helpful enough to share with others in your circles. Send Mimi Jacks a message to tell us your story of how allergies or asthma have impacted your family!
