Why Kidney Disease Goes Undiagnosed in the African American Community

Today on the Grow Your Money Podcast, I’m sitting down with the brilliant Dr. Shirley Jones to discuss a crisis that doesn’t get nearly enough attention — the delayed diagnosis of kidney disease in the African American community. Despite making up only 13% of the U.S. population, Black people account for over 35% of all patients receiving dialysis for kidney failure.We’re digging into the root causes — from medical bias and misdiagnosis to a lack of access and education — and what we need to know right now to protect ourselves and our families. This episode is more than just a conversation — it’s a wake-up call to prioritize our health the same way we prioritize our wealth. Because what good is generational wealth if we don’t live long enough to pass it on?🎧 Tap in, take notes, and share this with someone you love.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversationswithconstance/donations
