About this listen

 Hey Violets! Are you ready for a heart-to-heart that could change your life? Join Dr. Evans on the Rooted in Violet Podcast as we dive deep into a conversation every Black woman needs to hear: heart health. We're shattering the myths and revealing the unique ways cardiovascular disease impacts our community, often with subtle signs we're told to ignore. In this powerful episode, inspired by real stories like Auntie Tina's, we uncover why heart disease hits our sisters harder and younger. We'll explore how stress, healthcare bias, and even what we picture as "symptoms" can mask serious dangers.

But this isn't just about awareness—it's about empowerment. Dr. Evans breaks down your

Essential 8:

Learn how to advocate for yourself in the doctor's office, build a supportive sister circle, and pass on a legacy of health to the next generation.

Don't wait for a crisis. Your health is your legacy. Listen now and become a champion for your heart!
