Breaking the Silence: Anushay Hossain on Sexism and Racism in Healthcare

I found it fascinating while I was writing the book and by the time I finished the book, that we're not believed about anything about our bodies.
Ever wondered why women, especially women of color, face such significant challenges in healthcare? In this episode of 'Healing Harmonies', Cordelia sits down with journalist and political analyst Anushay Hossain to tackle this pressing issue. Anushay, known for her insightful work on CNN and PBS, dives into her book 'The Pain Gap: How Sexism and Racism in Healthcare Kill Women'. She shares eye-opening research and personal stories that highlight the grim realities many women face when seeking medical care.
But it’s not all doom and gloom; Anushay offers practical advice on patient advocacy and education, empowering listeners to take charge of their health. The conversation also touches on the intersectionality of gender, race, and other identities, revealing how these layers complicate healthcare experiences for marginalized groups. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the deep-rooted biases in our healthcare system and learning how to navigate them.
Tune in for a blend of hard truths and hopeful solutions that could make a real difference in your life.
