We also discuss Karleen's own experiences with health disparities as a community healthcare advocate in a rural, majority low-income black community. We talk about historical mistrust of the medical establishment in the Black community and her experience navigating the healthcare system both as a Black woman and as the daughter of a Black woman with chronic illness.  Follow Karleen's work on Twitter and Instagram Twitter: @askkarly_ Instagram: @askkarly The March for Medicare for All takes place Saturday, July 24, 2021, in 55 cities across the country.  Check out the website m4m4all.org to find the one nearest you and to sign the petition to demand Congress pass Medicare for All now. ********************************************************************************** Subscribe now and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode!
