Queer, Black and in Pain Hello Tumblr! Itâs been a hot minute but Iâm back! Introducing the Talking Head Pain Podcast! A new migraine and headache post for all us. This was featured during Pride Month and National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month and Iâm so excited to share with you my featured podcast episode of Global Healthy Living Foundationâs Talking Head Pain âQueer, Black & In Painâ, where I discuss my journey navigating diagnosis and treatment as a Queer Black Woman living with Migraine. Itâs taken me a long time to get to a point where Iâm comfortable sharing this part of my life, especially in a professional setting due to the way Disabled, Black & LGBTQIA+ employees (and patients) are discriminated against. In a world that continues to try and tear us down, we still persevere, but itâs a constant struggle. We need equitable access to healthcare and we need to all work together to ensure that happens. We need to call out bias in healthcare and work to fix racial disparities. Because everyone deserves access to healthcare. Black, Indigenous and People of Color do not experience the same level or access to healthcare as other patients. There are simply different barriers in place. My story is one of thousands of the struggles that BIPOC patients experience trying to get care. Iâm hoping by sharing my story it will help elevate and bring to light disparities in healthcare and bring about change. Listen to our stories. Subscribe to Talking Head Pain today to hear my episode along with so many other important patient stories. The podcast will continue to grow as we continue to share all kinds of patient stories so I hope youâll support it! If youâre someone who lives with head pain and migraine, Iâd love to chat with you and learn you story. Â
