A Terrible Strength: How Medical Bias Is Costing Women Their Lives with Dr. Kemi Doll | 408

Let’s get something straight: women’s healthcare is broken. But not equally broken. In this unapologetically raw and necessary conversation, Nicole Kalil sits down with Dr. Kemi Doll — physician, gynecologic oncologist, researcher, and author of A Terrible Strength — to expose the systemic failures in gynecological care, especially for Black women. This isn’t a “wellness trends” conversation. This is about health inequity, medical bias, reproductive injustice, and the dangerous normalization of women’s pain. Because here’s the truth: when one group of women is dismissed, denied care, and dying at higher rates… it’s not just their problem. It’s a system-wide failure that impacts all of us. They break down: The systemic crisis in gynecology and why womb health is massively underfunded and under-researched Why conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, and uterine cancer are ignored  The dangerous myth of the “strong Black woman” and how that “strength” is costing lives How medical bias and racism show up in real diagnoses, treatment delays, and mortality rates The difference between real health education vs. wellness industry BS How ALL women play a role in demanding better care  This episode will challenge you. It might piss you off. Good. It should. Because we don’t get to claim progress for women while some of us are still being ignored, misdiagnosed, and dying from treatable conditions. And we don’t get to call it “woman’s work” until it works for all of us. Thank you to our sponsors! Visit Upwork.com right now and post your job for free!
