I say that with love and respect. I’ve been talking about and advocating for better health for more than 20 years, first during my career as a health reporter/anchor at television stations in Florida, Louisiana and Virginia. Then, as I helped build a nonprofit media company, I developed health media projects funded by well-known disease awareness organizations, including the American Heart Association, American Stroke Association, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and Reconstruction of a Survivor Breast Cancer Foundation. I realize we face monumental barriers, such as systemic racism within the medical institution that contribute to the high rates of disease, illness, trauma, and death in our community, however, we have to make the best decisions we can within our circumstances. It is my goal to provide you with information to help make those decisions. I hope you find adequate information and some inspiration you listen to these stories. Thank you for spending some time with Urban Wellness NOW!
