Let’s get real, racism in healthcare isn’t just a history book lesson 📚. It’s 2025, and Black patients are still being dismissed, ignored, and dying at higher rates than they should.
In this episode, we’re unpacking the truth:
⚖️ The roots of medical racism (yes, it started centuries ago… and it hasn’t gone away)
👩🏾🍼 The tragic story of Keira Johnson, a Black mother who died after her pleas for help were ignored postpartum
🩹 My own ER experiences of. being stereotyped, dismissed, and denied proper care
🔑 Why advocacy for Black spoonies isn’t optional but mandatory!
This episode is heavier than usual. Less spoonie sass, more storytelling + receipts. Because protecting your spoons means naming the systems that are stealing them. And racism? Is one of the biggest spoon thieves of all.
✨ Resources Mentioned:
🎧 Tap play. Get the education. Sit with the discomfort. Because silence protects the system — but our stories? They expose it.
Spill the Spoon – Your space for questions, tea, and tales.
With Extra Spoons,
