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.Medical Sources (medical bias, fatphobia, fibroids etc.):https://withinhealth.com/learn/articles/medical-fatphobia-weight-stigma#resourceshttps://abimfoundation.org/pressrelease/59-of-u-s-adults-say-health-care-system-discriminates-at-least-somewhat-negatively-affecting-trusthttps://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/uterine-fibroidsBook recommendations:1.
