I write about the connection between racism, poor health, and poor sleep among Black people in my book 'Black Health' because no matter how good your sleep hygiene is, it's hard to be healthy in an unhealthy world. And a lack of sleep is connected to so many other health issues.

Hope it helps.

I'd be willing to bet that nearly every minority resident has shared a meaningful moment with a cafeteria worker, administrator, greeter, janitor, engineer, or another healthcare adjacent worker in the hospital. Let's be honest, diversity in medicine is still lacking.
