You guys did a great job opening this conversation to the systemic issues surrounding healthcare, self care and living your healthiest life. My biggest takeaway is while small changes can cause some ripples the issue lies in racial equity from a system that was not designed to prioritize the well-being of all individuals equally. It's clear that addressing these disparities requires comprehensive structural reforms and a commitment to dismantling systemic inequalities. Thank you for shedding light on these crucial matters and inspiring meaningful discussions towards positive change.
