It can be risky to assume something about a person—especially if that assumption impacts someone’s health and well-being. The dangers that can come with assumptions was at the heart of Dr Kendra Outler’s recent conversation with Dr Naa Oyo A. Kwate, a Rutgers University Associate Professor in the Departments of Africana Studies and Human Ecology.

The two doctors covered a number of topics over the course of this podcast, but the focus was on the disproportionate amount of fast-food restaurants that exist in Black communities.

Over the 2022 Christmas holidays, Dr K convened a group to discuss grief over the holidays, as many families get together and face missing seats at the table.  While death touches many families due to illness, the discussion focused on the outsize impact of gun violence on families and communities. It looked at the three slain students at UVA who were not only talented student athletes, but sons from communities who will grieve for them.

Dr K, herself no stranger to loss and grief, created a discussion titled: Unpacking grief during the holidays - reflections and solutions. She dedicated the hour-long show to the three slain students at UVA who were not only talented student athletes, but sons from communities who will grieve for them.

The founder of Uzima Health & Wellness, Dr Kendra Outler, has been interviewed by Health Professional Radio. In the interview, she discusses health disparities she has seen and experienced in major medical centers.
