    Take Control of Your Health Workshop

    In this workshop, I will guide you in understanding your health more clearly by focusing on the specific body system you’re most concerned about.

    I'll break down how health conditions develop step by step—the cascade of events within the body—and connect that to what you may be experiencing.

    I will also highlight the healthcare disparities that disproportionately impact people of color, so you can become more informed, aware, and empowered to advocate for your own health.

    We will also focus on preventive healthcare and understanding your lab results. Bring your lab results with you—I will walk you through them in detail, explaining what they mean and how to interpret key values. You’ll learn how to make informed adjustments to improve your current health condition or maintain your health through preventive measures.

  • How Strokes Happen - What Every Family Needs To Know
    Feb 4 2026

    In this episode, I break down exactly how strokes happen — in clear, practical language for families, caregivers, and community members. You’ll learn what is happening inside the brain during a stroke, the difference between ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and transient ischemic attack (TIA), and why every minute matters when symptoms begin.

    I explain how blood clots, blocked arteries, and bleeding in the brain lead to cell death, disability, and sometimes death — and why conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, heart conditions, and medication interactions increase risk, especially in Black and Brown communities.

    This episode also covers early warning signs, why strokes are often missed or delayed in diagnosis, and what to do immediately if you suspect someone is having a stroke.

    If you want to better protect yourself and your loved ones through awareness and prevention — this episode is essential listening, and please share - Thank You
