Naomi Green shares a firsthand experience of discrimination inside a doctor’s office and what it revealed about how bias can show up in everyday healthcare interactions.

What happens when the place designed to care for you becomes the place where you feel dismissed?

In this conversation on Making Black History Today, Naomi opens up about her experience and the broader questions it raises about visibility, treatment, and how different communities are heard and believed in medical spaces and beyond.
