Welcome to a powerful episode of "Money & Racism." Today, we're exploring the intersection of financial disparity and healthcare through the lens of racial inequity, with a special focus on the black community's struggle against breast cancer. Join your host, Joe Burns, and guest Reverend Dr. Tammie Denyse, as they delve into Tammie's personal journey as a breast cancer survivor and her trailblazing work with Carrie's Touch, an organization dedicated to supporting black women battling this disease.
In this episode, we confront the 'strong black woman syndrome' and its consequences on health outcomes, discuss the role of community in uplifting those in need, and highlight the harsh statistics that underscore higher mortality rates for black women with breast cancer. Reverend Dr. Tammie Denyse shares her experience of finding a research partner for Project Soar. This project aims to help black women navigate their breast cancer experiences, emphasizing the importance of accepting help, be it emotional, mental, or financial, even from unexpected allies.
Joe Burns offers an honest reflection on the racial dynamics at play and his commitment to addressing past injustices within the white community. Together, they touch on the Childhood Money Belief System and its lasting impacts, and Tammie's touching story of her community providing a financial lifeline during her treatment.
As we unpack these topics, we'll also discuss the lack of resources, the impact of systemic racism in medical research and treatment, and the financial traumas facing not just individuals, but entire communities. Listen in as Tammie and Joe foster crucial conversations about sharing personal stories, advocating for education and support, and ultimately working toward dismantling outdated, oppressive systems.
So tighten your seat belts; we're diving deep into these complex issues, shedding light on the true cost of money and racism, here on "Money & Racism."
