On Today's Episode, I talk to Mercilla Ryan-Harris a proud Atlanta Native, Hampton Alum, public health professional and general wellness advocate. Mercilla or Mercie to most is fueled by her love for Black people, her city, and weaves that into everything she does. We talk about the importance of her work to move the conversation on the impact of racism and health as a co-founder of the Nonprofit organization BlkHlth. We discuss the importance of celebrating ourselves more often than not, how she navigates imposter syndrome by accepting that what comes to you, is for you. Mercie reminds us of the importance of staying connected to the true you when the thoughts come by reminding yourself that you are enough.
