    Health Equity Explained: Why It Matters and How It’s at Risk

    In this episode of Black Woman in Public Health, I’m delving into a topic at the heart of everything we do in public health: health equity. What does it mean? Why does it matter? And why is it so often at risk? We’ll discuss how systemic barriers continue to exclude low-income individuals, the elderly, people with disabilities, and marginalized communities—groups that should be at the forefront of these conversations, not an afterthought. I’ll also break down the threats to health equity, like policy rollbacks, the pandemic’s lasting effects, and climate change, while exploring how we can all make things better. Whether it’s advocating for change, empowering communities, or holding systems accountable, this work affects us all. If you’re ready to understand the bigger picture and join me in pushing for a fairer, more just system, this episode is for you. Let’s get into it—because health equity isn’t just a goal, it’s a right.

    Public Health in Transition: A Look at the Impact of the Trump Administration

    In this episode, I explore the state of public health today and the potential impacts of the incoming Trump administration's policies. As a Black woman and public health advocate, I share my perspective on how proposed changes to the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, reproductive health, and public health agencies could widen health disparities, particularly for marginalized communities. Join me as I unpack these pressing issues and discuss what they mean for health equity, public health professionals, and those most affected by systemic inequities. Together, we’ll reflect on the challenges ahead and how we can advocate for meaningful change.

    March Health Observances 2023

    For those that don't know, National Health Observances (NHOs) are special days, weeks, or months dedicated to raising awareness about important health topics. In Episode 2, we will be discussing March National Health Observances. In this episode, I focused on (3) health topics: Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, and Colorectal cancer. After listening to this episode, you will have a basic knowledge of these three health topics. I challenge you to research these topics and share this episode with someone.
