About this listen
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
