Welcome to More of You with Em!

Join me on a journey through time to learn about health history! We'll explore how people thought about health long ago when there wasn't much medicine and doctors were rare. Learn about the big changes and discoveries in health, especially for the Black community, and how these changes affected everyone's lives. We'll talk about important people who made a difference in health, like doctors and nurses from the past. This episode is a trip back in time to see how health has grown and changed over the years. It is important to know where we come from in order to know where we are going in the face of health and medicine.

This episode talks about some tough topics, including how certain groups were mistreated in health history. I am careful and respectful when discussing these things.
