Shownotes

How do you find peace after a deeply painful experience? Join us for a powerful conversation with Dr. Tyra Bryant-Stephens on overcoming trauma and forging a new path forward.

Dr. Bryant-Stevens, a leading pediatrician and advocate, shares her extraordinary journey, from navigating segregated schools in her youth to facing overt racism during medical school. She reveals the profound lesson her parents taught her about unconditional love and service , and why she believes you must forgive for yourself, not for those who hurt you. She also explains her impactful work in health equity, which goes beyond describing disparities to actively closing the gaps , including a program that repairs homes for children with asthma.
