Within Reach: You Deserve to Feel Good with Reena Ruparelia

Reena Ruparelia has lived with psoriasis since she was in high school. But she didn’t start sharing about her experience until 20 years later. Stigma played a role in her hesitancy to speak out, but a major factor was the difficulty in finding a doctor who really listened, and a treatment that worked. Until patients find treatment, it can feel like their life is on hold–but Reena has a message of hope for anyone still looking. Reena’s story ties in perfectly to the history in this episode, which goes step by step through the evolution of psoriasis treatment, from ancient times to our modern medicines today.

After the horrific violence of Election Day, 1920, in Ocoee, Florida, hundreds of Black families fled the town, never to return. White farmers took ownership of their lands.

Special Series: The Election Day Massacre. Part 2.

Before the presidential election of 1920, the Klan marched through Florida to warn Black citizens not to vote. Newspapers across the state issued the same warning. When a prominent Black resident, Mose Norman, tried to cast his vote in the town of Ocoee, a mob of white vigilantes descended on the community. They exacted a terrible vengeance, starting with the family of a local Black leader, July Perry.Photo credit: Orange County Regional History Center

This show is great. However, you are the company you keep. Any connection to a blatant racist like Ibram X Kendi is too much for me. Just because you say you’re “anti” doesn’t make it less racist.

From being a phenomenal must listen to podcasts to pure weird commercials? I have kept it on my list to see if they finally would come back but nothing. Don’t even give it a try anymore!
