Being Black in the Wellness Industry
Manage episode 288837947 series 2865416
Mental and physical wellness are relevant topics in this current landscape of illness and stress. But it’s hard to prioritize health when the wellness space is not always inclusive and equitable for everyone. In this episode of The SunDaze Journey Podcast, hosts Alexis and Mary-Beth welcome their first (ever!) guest on the microphone to talk about the racial disparities in wellness, how this harms both practitioners and patients of color, and what changes the industry can make to improve equity within healthcare spaces. Listen in while social justice advocate and wellness champion, Micaela Bartee, shares her breadth of experience, insights, and wisdom on this topic!
