About CRxOWN Talks

The CRxOWN Talks MiniCast is a 10-minute (ok... maybe more) dose of health realness. Hosted by a Black woman Nurse Practitioner, I have real conversations on diabetes to sexual health and everything in between. Each episode features health experts who care about Black health, and break it down in a way that actually makes sense. Whether you’re a healthcare consumer or provider, you’ll walk away with something new, something to take home with you and change, and probably a laugh or two. We bust myths and answer the questions you wish you’d asked your provider so you can protect your health.

We also talk about: The HPV vaccine — who needs it and why HPV transmission and why infection is so common Screening and prevention The connection between HPV and certain cancers Myths, stigma, and conversations we need to normalize How providers can better educate and empower their patients Because HPV shouldn't be a conversation rooted in shame.
