In this powerful episode of The Hint Hive: Amplifying Women’s Voices, host Kelly Hint uncovers the disturbing, often hidden truths about how the medical and scientific communities have historically exploited women, people of color, Indigenous populations, and other marginalized groups—all in the name of “progress.”
From the heartbreaking story of Henrietta Lacks and the billion-dollar legacy of her stolen cells to the government-sanctioned sterilization of Indigenous women and the horrors of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Kelly doesn’t hold back. This episode dives deep into the legacy of racism, sexism, and ableism in medicine—and how that legacy is still very much alive in exam rooms and policy decisions today.
But this isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a call to action. You’ll walk away with practical steps for advocacy, reflection, and accountability. Whether it’s challenging your healthcare provider, amplifying marginalized voices, or simply having hard conversations, change starts with you.
Listen in, get fired up, and help rewrite the future of healthcare—one voice at a time. 💪
And don’t forget to read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, the story that inspired this episode!
