Beyond the Diagnosis: Why Representation in Research and Clinical Trials Matters
from Empowerment In Illness · host Gwen Pike
In this episode, I’m diving into why representation in clinical trials isn’t just important—it’s life-saving. We’ll talk about how systemic exclusion in research has impacted communities of color, and I’ll share my personal experience with a lupus treatment that wasn’t tested on people like me. This is a powerful conversation about truth, healing, and demanding better from the science that claims to serve us.
