In this episode, Aisha:
- Names the realities of racial bias in healthcare
- Discusses the importance of informed consent and documentation
- Shares strategies for advocating for yourself in medical settings
- Reflects on trust, intuition, and preparation
- Emphasizes community knowledge as a form of protection
This mash-up centers truth, preparation, and empowerment—reminding listeners that advocacy is not optional, it’s essential.
