A snowstorm, a noisy house full of pets, and then a hard turn into a story that still shakes the walls of medicine and justice: Ruby McCollum. We walk through Ruby’s path from a disciplined childhood in segregated Florida to a marriage that brought visibility and risk through the Bolita economy. When a respected physician blurred professional lines and used social power to control her body, Ruby learned to live in two worlds—outward composure and private calculation. Years later, a single moment in a doctor’s office revealed the truth no one with power wanted to face.
Stick around for a listener medical mishap that adds levity without losing sight of the stakes. If this story moved you, share it with a friend, follow the show, and leave a review—your support helps more people find conversations that challenge power and champion dignity.
