Ep 26: Melanin Myths, The Niagara Movement & The One-Year Rule
Welcome to Life More Abundantly , where we talk Black health like we talk everything else... real, out loud, and with love! This week, Dr. Eboni and Dr. Tynisha dive into a packed agenda. We’re unpacking the recent Patriot Front march in our nation’s capital and the viral photo that spoke a thousand words. We also take a trip back in time to honor the Niagara Movement of 1905, exploring how W.E.B. Du Bois and William Monroe Trotter laid the groundwork for the NAACP. For our Community Calendar, we are recognizing UV Awareness Month. It is time to bust the dangerous myth that darker skin doesn't need sun protection. We break down the signs of melanoma in Black skin, the best sunscreens to avoid that "ashy" white cast, and how to perform your own C.U.B.E.D. skin check. Finally, we pour The Herbal Tea on Jussie Smollett and Karamo Brown’s new romance, debating the “one-year rule” for taking relationships public, and send our prayers to Danny Glover following his Alzheimer's announcement.
