Empowerment and Resilience in Black and Brown Parenting - Episode 67

Financially Intentional

Today, we're talking with my friend Chelsea Samms, who is a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Nurse. This episode dives deep into a topic that's close to our hearts and impacts our communities greatly: the institutional racism within our healthcare system and its disproportionate effects on Black American families. We're tackling the tough reality of how systemic biases can lead to unfair and often harmful treatment in medical care for Black moms and their babies. It's not just about personal experiences; it's about a widespread issue that demands attention and action. Chelsea and I are here to share insights, stories, and strategies on advocating for the rights and well-being of Black families navigating the healthcare system. Together, we're envisioning and working towards a future where healthcare equity is a reality for everyone.
