Self-Advocacy Is Self-Care: Reclaiming Power in the Exam Room with Dr Bayo Description: Navigating the healthcare system as a woman, especially as a Black woman, can feel like a battle. A battle to be heard, believed, and treated with the care and respect we deserve. In this affirming and eye-opening episode of Be Well, Sis, I’m joined by Dr. Bayo, a physician and patient advocate who’s using her voice to challenge bias in medicine and close the gap on maternal health disparities and healthcare inequities. Together, we dive into what it really takes to build trust in healthcare—not just between patient and provider, but within ourselves as we learn to speak up, ask questions, and challenge the harmful systems we’ve been taught to accept. Dr. Bayo shares her own journey into medicine and advocacy, including the influence of family, personal experience, and generational knowledge that shaped her commitment to making healthcare safer and more human. We explore the power of self-advocacy, the necessity of community, and why curiosity is one of the most powerful tools we can bring into any medical setting.
