Episode 124: How to Integrate Professional Speaking As a Powerful (and Profitable) Way to Impact the Health of Our Communities

Melanin & Medicine Podcast

As women of color, we have a unique amount of both professional experience that's been curated and personal connections. The ideas that we come up with in terms of what we think is going to be helpful for the health of our communities are extremely culturally informed. Why aren't these accessible to the larger audience? Why aren't we making sure these are available to as many people as possible? If you are someone who has worked in healthcare at any point you have a speaking possibility, if you choose to pursue it. And, it is going to be both powerful for your work and profitable for you.

Before we get into our topic, we'll be hosting our Passion to Profit Masterclass soon. In this transformational workshop we'll be sharing the 5 shifts that women of color in healthcare must make in order to grow businesses that create impact and income (even if you're still working a full-time job)! If you have you have a desire to launch and grow your own business for social impact and health justice, you won't want to miss out. Reserve your seat here.

In this episode of the Melanin & Medicine podcast we discuss making a shift in our work to add speaking as a revenue stream that allows for us to create bandwidth in our clinical work as well as really feel like we’re making an impact outside of one-to-one care.
