Ride or Die? The Protest

Hip Hop, Hypocrites, and Health Equity.

We would like to introduce to some and reintroduce to others: Dr. Italo Brown.

Health equity and Hip Hop. Yeah, it's a thing. Dr. Brown is a rising giant in emergency medicine and health equity. His audience ranges from the White House, NIH, Stanford, and the streets of LA. I hope you enjoy this enlightening conversation as much as we did. Note: You know we like to remix things. So, we started this episode with a cold opener. We open our chat with a candidly honest discussion about hip hop, fashion, hypocrisy and humanity. We can rise above our problems, when we humbly admit them, big or small.

 This episode was recorded 1 week prior to the slaying of Migos member, Takeoff. May he, his loved ones, and all others who lose their lives to violence find peace.

Gang culture in Healthcare, The Hood, and Beyond.

East vs West, North vs South, Biggie, Pac, Masks, Vaccines...

“Gang Mentality” is bigger than the streets. And at some level, we are ALL, gang affiliated. It’s almost always a matter of health and more often than not, life and death. We fight to stand our ground, claim our set and rep our hood. But, do we fight to share our common ground?

Show me one city in America and I will show you two Americas.

Health, Wealth, Diagnosis, Disease, Treatment. From Philly to ATL, some things are the same. Two Cities. Two Americas.

A note (but not a final one) on the last day of Pride month.

We don’t have to look alike -to listen

We don’t have to agree on everything -to listen

We don’t have to worship the same God -to listen

We must agree -on our shared humanity

We must accept -that we are all flawed in someway or another

We must also accept that we are all uniquely gifted in various ways

I hope this will serve as an example of the above. 

Atlanta has become the capital of film and music, Black wealth and excellence. It is the home of the Civil Rights movement and the rebirth of the KKK. It is also a leader of Black wealth and health disparities. How can this all be true? As Atlanta has recently become the center of the American political universe, it has also mirrored its tale, a tale of two cities, a tale of two Americas.

Tune in to find out why.

 Conspiracy theory, Pseudoscience in the land of (Dr.) Oz.
In the Era of Social Media and Misinformation with everybody claiming to have the answer, is there any question why so many have doubts. But, are they Reasonable Doubts?
