Can I help?
And so that was kind of the basis for how this podcast came to evolve.
And other than a few occasional NPR episodes, I knew nothing about podcasting.
And it was such a deeply moving and meaningful experience to have this small team with you and Adelaide and Kimberly Manning coming on board and our amazing students and John.
And invite these stories and cultivate this tapestry of different narratives that highlights an aspect of healthcare that perhaps had not been seen.
The word that comes to mind is just gratitude and also humility.
To be able to participate in that project, to have people who trusted us with those stories and to have
the resources to put together that project.
It was just so so beautiful.
I mean I will say before we even knew exactly what the Black Voices in Healthcare series was gonna be, we knew that hair would be
included and it's just such a an important aspect of our culture and particularly among black women.
I think anything that really makes you stand out, it's both a challenge and such a unique gift and opportunity to really make it authentically you.
And I had such a fraught relationship with my hair for so long.
it really became a metaphor for a lot of things that I found challenging growing up as a black queer woman, particularly with darker skin, very kinky curly hair, and all these aspects that seemed to against what was accepted as beautiful and valued.
And so
to tell that story and then listen to all these other unique stories about both women and men.
Describing their relationship with their hair and what that means for them in this personal and professional space and the stories that are embedded within our hair throughout the generations and then how that connects us with our families and our colleagues.
I just love it.
I mean, if you happen to listen to The Human Doctor, I'd say that in almost every episode, hair comes up.
And my hair also has a name now.
