Dying to be Heard: Adrienne Moore's Fight for Health Equity for Black Women
For too long, the health concerns of Black women have been dismissed, leading to devastating disparities and worse health outcomes. Adrienne Moore, a two-time cancer survivor, respiratory therapist, and patient advocate, opens up about her personal battle—one that reveals how identity and bias delayed her own cancer diagnosis.
In this powerful episode, Adrienne shares her harrowing story of survival, and how the frustration of being ignored and misunderstood ignited her passion for health equity. She’s now on a mission to amplify the voices of Black women whose concerns are often overlooked in the healthcare system.
Join Adrienne as she transforms her experience into activism, fighting to ensure that the health of Black women is no longer sidelined—and that their voices are heard and respected in every corner of healthcare.
