I think it also helps when I'm talking to family members, if they're not really, they don't really have a healthcare background. They don't really know if, you know, they will ask questions and things. I think it helps me in the sense of just like being able to kind of reassure them of things.

And I think sometimes when you don't have that kind of background and maybe a physician or a nurse is coming to you and saying like, oh, you know, like, telling you you might have like things that to look out for, like that are related to Black people, specifically like high blood pressure, cholesterol, things like that.

This is something that they're asking all of us, you know, this is not something they're singling you out on. So I think sometimes like those labels, if you're not really aware of like healthcare or just certain things that are prominent within our community, it can kind of feel like you're being singled out.

So it's really helpful to have people with a voice to kind of just, you know, reassure you that, you know, there are like, I think a lot of people are afraid of like, you know, doctors and, and things like that.
