Join me as I dive into the problem with medical racism by reviewing the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot. This episode will cover the history of medical racism in America and Henrietta's story. Henrietta's cells were stolen and then made into a billion-dollar industry without her consent or her family's knowledge. Her story highlights the importance of telling the truth about racism in America and the lengths this country and the people in it will go to uphold white supremacy, perpetuate harm, and fail to be held accountable.
