After every Doctor's visit, you have a follow up...

Still reeling from the amazing response to My Body, New Choices, tune in for more information, historical context, and personal experience in honoring your health. I continue to share my health care experience, providing more insight and tips to empower you. Everyone deserves quality healthcare and wellness that's not driven by bias, greed, or oppression. We can start to combat this by connecting through our stories and sharing the knowledge we gain.

*TRIGGER WARNING: I get more detailed with my symptoms and descriptions of care*

SOUL Vibrant is Officially Back since I took time to focus on my health. It's bizarre how quickly "My Body, My Choice", "A woman's right to choose", and other various pro-choice attitudes change when the choices go against societal "comforts". Or when the individual reclaiming their right of choice is deemed unworthy, undesirable, or unfit to make such noise. 47 % of physicians underestimate Black patients' pain levels. Black Women face a 3x higher mortality rate compared to other races, and 40% of providers have negative attitudes about patients with higher weight [Fat] bodies. I sit at the intersection of all 3 identities. I'm a statistic, Tune in, as I vulnerably reveal my journey navigating the healthcare system and the Choices I had to make to reclaim my Voice, Body, and Life.
