Knowing your rights as a patient is a form of self-care. Too many Black people have had their pain minimized or dismissed — self-advocacy is essential. 💪🏾 #BlackHealth #HealthEquity

This distrust is hard-earned and completely valid. When food deserts, contaminated water, and mislabeled products hit Black neighborhoods hardest — returning to seasonal, whole, locally-sourced food isn't just wellness, it's resistance. 🌿 #BlackHealth #FoodJustice
