The Saturday Morning Entertainment Show

Well December steps in so we say Happy celebration to the people of December who cebrate birthdays, anniversaries and other memorable events. It is also the beginning of the big holiday season with all different forms of cultural observances. Caribbean Global Voices will be here to celebrate with you through it all. So come on in and whatever you celebrate you can do it right here on the Saturday Morning Entertainment Show with Host, Ivor Henry and and the rest of the entertainment brigade. Along the way, we take time out to have a conversation, so let's talk.

It is no secret that Black women disproportinately suffer from a host of illnesses and adverse health consequences, some of which are treatable and completely avoidable. Black people were included in health research not to address Black health issues but to find solutions for white people's health concerns. Twenty Eight years ago Boston University launched a study which involved 59,000 Black women. The study illuminated the role racism plays in heathcare outcomes. The study identified the link between racism and increased risks of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, asthma, and accelerated aging. This outcome should come as a wake-up call to people who have continued to think that racism is merely about individuals hating other individuals because of their colour. Six hundred years of systematically excluding a people from social participation and benefit should be taken a lot more seriously.
