Wellness That Matters: Black Health News & Community Care
- Intersection of chronic illness with race, gender, and health equity shapes physical and mental outcomes.
- Podcast amplifies lived experiences and creates space for those with often invisible autoimmune conditions.
- Community resources include a directory, Patreon community, and ways to submit topics or voice notes.
- Therapy for Black Girls offers ongoing support through weekly episodes, social media, and merchandise like guided affirmations.
This week we’re bringing attention to a topic that doesn’t always get the space or care it deserves: the mental, emotional, and physical toll of living with a severe autoimmune condition. Joining me for this conversation is Dr. Martine Hackett, a public health expert and the host of the podcast “Untold Stories: Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition”. In her show, she shares her own experience navigating chronic illness while also holding space for others who live with conditions that are often invisible but deeply impactful. During our conversation we discussed the ways chronic illness intersects with race, gender, and health equity, and how all of that shows up in the body and mind. If you or someone you love is managing a chronic condition, this conversation is for you.
