After almost a decade as a maternal health advocate, one of the most common and troubling things I hear on a daily basis from people of color is, “ I don’t go to the doctor”.
Due to negative past experiences of racism or bias from healthcare providers, people of color are often hesitant to seek treatment. People of color are more likely than whites to have doctors dismiss or minimize their pain. You deserve better.
It may be more challenging to find healthcare providers who look like you, speak your language or understand your culture. But trust me-they exist!
The Black and Brown Health Network is dedicated to connecting you to people who care about you.
Be well,
