Real Talk Memphis with Chip Washington

Episode Notes

My guests include Kelly Sealey who is one of many thousands across this country who contracted Covid initially, but when the initial symptoms subsided she was left with the long-term effects. She joins me to discuss some of the difficult symptoms she still deals with today. Dr. Sapna Kripalani from Vanderbilt University also joins her to tell us why it's so difficult to diagnose. Jacqueline Oselen is a health and wellness coach, health practitioner and certified yoga teacher. Her main goal is to help the mental, physical and spiritual needs of the black community. She tells us how the Memphis Black Healers Collective can and does help. Rev. Melvin Watkins of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church is a man with a vision for the Westwood community he serves. He along with the community are embarking on a revitalization project. The Southwest Twin Drive-in was once a staple of the area, but it has been dormant for decades.
