Episode notes

Prepare to be inspired by Part 2 of the African American Diabetes Podcast with Dr. Stephen B. Thomas, the brilliant mind behind CUT2MD, a groundbreaking initiative that reveres and elevates barbershops as sacred community hubs for health promotion. Learn about The Barbershop Initiative, a powerful program that empowers our beloved barbers and Beauty Salons to rise as health advocates and educators, nurturing well-being within their communities. These initiatives are deeply rooted in the transformative principles of the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) framework, boldly confronting systemic inequities and weaving a stronger tapestry of trust within our communities to manifest true health equity.

This 2nd episode is more than a conversation; it's an affirmation of our resilience, a celebration of community-led healing, and a call to action to reclaim our health narrative. Don't miss this empowering discussion with Dr. Stephen B. Thomas, a true champion of our people's health.
