The Health Equity Warrior

We can all appreciate the satisfying feeling of being deeply cared for or connecting with another human who can relate to us through shared experience, condition, or situation. For patients of color–especially Black women–seeking help from healthcare professionals can involve issues relating to race and the impact of systemic racism on the physical and mental well-being of themselves and their families. So how can patients of color truly feel cared for if they feel unable to connect–or unseen–by their provider who may not share the same lived experience? Ashlee Wisdom is tackling this challenge head on through her health startup, Health in Her HUE, a digital platform that connects Black women and women of color to culturally aligned and competent health care providers, health content, and community.
