   Episode 122: How to Transform Our Health Interventions To Address Anti-Black Racism

   What allows racial segregation to happen? Why do communities with proximity to whiteness have higher density of health and increased quality of care? And, as physicians serving Black patients, are we doing the work of remaining familiar with the laws and red-lining in government that has created such silos. How do we break down the barriers that have created these silos that we're trying to redistribute equity across?

In this episode of the Melanin & Medicine podcast we discuss centering anti-black racism and making sure our interventions are addressing it, particularly in terms of dismantling and making sure our health interventions are equitable and just. What You’ll Learn From This Episode: Why it’s important to determine why anti-blackness silos exist and the ways you can break them down in your enterprise The importance of providing healthcare solutions that are responsive and deep enough to result in change for those that have the least proximate to whiteness How to make sure the things that lead people potentially having to live in certain areas versus others is the focus and target of your health interventions How to determine the potential benefits for black communities in the type of intervention work you are doing …and much more!

   Episode 121: How to Increase the Visibility of Your Work for Greater Impact on Communities of Color

   As women of color, a lot of us are indoctrinated to not make waves; to blend in. We were led to be unsure of how the work we are doing would be received, so we became comfortable with shrinking our visibility. But, many of us want to have an impact and want to have our ideas and solutions in health justice extend and not feel as if we are doing something outside of the norm or “outside of the box”. We want vocalization and visibility to be the accepted standard for BIWOC in medicine. Don’t forget, the FREE Stop Waiting & Start Creating workshop (http://bit.ly/startcreatingnow), with Dr. Omolara — who has won six-figure funding for two successful social enterprises — is coming up soon! In it she teaches you how your social impact business or practice idea or vision CAN be primed for maximum funding opportunities. In this episode of the Melanin & Medicine podcast we discuss visibility and what it would look like if the work you were doing — and the results you were getting for communities of color —  happened in multiple spaces and had a multiplier effect. What You’ll Learn From This Episode: How to shift from being a generalist to a specialist in your work How to identify the levers that will identify the solutions you intend supply and present to your community How to create a framework to leverage your community networks in order to present those solutions How to niche and fine tune your specific focus in order to enter your “speciality bubble” …and much more! Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on empowering Black, LatinX, and Indigenous women in medicine to create sustainable health equity initiatives, opportunities, and entrepreneurships that get funded.

   Episode 120: Examining Your Current Career to Build & Grow A Business that Creates Health Equity

   For some of us our workplace is an evolutionary space; a test space to learn what it is we truly desire to truly do. As women of color, many of us have recognized we have to do things differently. We have our jobs, the day-to-day work we do for a clinic, hospital, or organization that earn us a paycheck. But, we’re also out in the community doing healthcare justice work that really matters to us: spreading community health education, creating health programs, launching health fairs, building advocacy and creating partnerships, etc. And, spreading ourselves so thin — while holding a full-time job —-  can be exhausting. In our FREE Stop Waiting & Start Creating workshop (http://bit.ly/startcreatingnow), Dr. Omolara — who has won six-figure funding for two successful social enterprises — teaches you how your social impact business or practice idea or vision CAN be primed for maximum funding opportunities. That’s why this episode of the Melanin & Medicine podcast allows you to examine if your current career is limiting or lifting your impact in the healthcare space. What You’ll Learn From This Episode: How to compensate for your time as a health justice professional How to identify the work that your community most needs from you How to create change in your career to focus your time on the work you find most important and extraordinary to you How to stop limiting your impact and allow yourself to show up in your highest power …and much more!
