  • Childhood Obesity: A Crisis in Plain Sight

    Childhood Obesity: A Crisis in Plain Sight
    Jul 2 2025
    In the premiere episode of our new series Weight of the System, Mahogany addresses the alarming and disproportionate rise of childhood obesity in African American youth. Post-pandemic data reveals a staggering increase in obesity rates among Black children—from 22.5% pre-pandemic to 35.8% today. This episode explores why this public health crisis is more than just about weight—it’s a warning sign of deeper systemic inequities that shape the health of our children. Tune in to understand what’s driving the numbers, why the stakes are so high, and how families and communities can rise together to change the narrative.

  • Let’s Talk Fibroids: The Health Crisis We Can’t Ignore

    Let’s Talk Fibroids: The Health Crisis We Can’t Ignore
    Jul 1 2025
    In this powerful episode of the Rooted Will Rising Advocate Podcast, host Mahogany shines a spotlight on a health issue impacting over 80% of Black women by age 50 — uterine fibroids. Fibroids are not just a medical concern — they’re a justice issue. Many Black women suffer in silence due to misdiagnosis, lack of options, or simply being told their pain is “normal.” This episode changes that. ✨ Inside this episode:
    • What uterine fibroids are (and why they form)
    • Why Black women are disproportionately affected
    • Symptoms to watch for (heavy periods, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and more)
    • Clear, understandable treatment options — explained in plain language
    • How to advocate for better care and informed decisions
    Read the article, Uterine Fibroids: The Silent Health Crisis Impacting Black Women on our website MahoganySpeakstoYou.com.

    Whether you’re navigating fibroids yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s break the silence together. 🎧 Tune in, take notes, and tap into your power. 🧡 Subscribe and follow for more advocacy-driven content centering Black women’s health. #RootedWillRising #FibroidAwareness #BlackWomensHealth #MahoganySpeaks #ReproductiveJustice #HealthAdvocacy #SpreakerPodcasts

  • Rooted in Evidence: Dr. Chaniece Wallace

    Rooted in Evidence: Dr. Chaniece Wallace
    Jun 30 2025
    In the premiere episode of "Rooted in Evidence," the new Maternal Health Mondays series from the Rooted Will Rising Advocate podcast, we investigate the heartbreaking and preventable death of Dr. Chaniece Wallace. A brilliant pediatric chief resident, Dr. Wallace died from postpartum preeclampsia just two days after giving birth to her beautiful daughter, Charlotte. This isn't just a retelling of a tragedy; it's a case file. We analyze the timeline of events, break down the critical warning signs of postpartum preeclampsia—severe headaches, high blood pressure, abdominal pain—and equip you with the exact language to use when advocating for yourself or a loved one. Learn how to turn concern into action and demand the care you deserve. Join us as we transform this story into evidence and empower our community in the fight for birth justice and health equity.
