Download or read book Take Care of Them Like My Own written by Ala Stanford and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The founder of the Black Doctors Consortium highlights the devastating racial injustices in our healthcare system in this inspirational memoir and empowering call to action. Dr. Ala Stanford knew she wanted to be a doctor by the time she was eight years old. But role models were few and far between in her working-class North Philly neighborhood. Her teachers were dismissive, and the realities of racism, sexism, and poverty threatened to derail her at every turn. Nevertheless, thanks to her faith, family, and the sheer strength of her will, today she is one of the vanishingly small number of Black women surgeons in America—and an unrelenting force in the fight for health justice. In Take Care of Them Like My Own, Dr. Stanford shares an unflinching account of her story, explaining how her experiences on both sides of the scalpel have informed her understanding of America’s racial health gap, an insidious and lethal form of inequality that exacts a devastating toll on Black communities across the country, affluent and underserved alike. When Covid-19 arrived in her hometown of Philadelphia, she knew it would disproportionately affect the Black population. As the city stood idly by, unwilling or unable to protect its most vulnerable citizens, Dr. Stanford took matters into her own hands. She rented a van, made some calls, and began administering tests in church parking lots. Soon, she found herself at the helm of a powerful grassroots campaign that successfully vaccinated tens of thousands of Philadelphians. She and her movement are living proof that by drawing on faith, community, and inner strength, everyday people can affect tremendous change. Part memoir, part manifesto for health equality and justice, Take Care of Them Like My Own offers urgent lessons about the power of communities working together to take care of one another and the importance of fighting for a healthcare system that truly fulfills its promise to all Americans.

Or are you on the other side of that coin? Times are tough, though you know people have survived worse. But how do others overcome staggering mountains and valleys? What we wouldn’t give to absorb their wisdom. Author Alicia M. Smith sought answers to the questions shared above, questions occupying real estate within the shadows of our minds. Her quest was to speak with said people. Those who understood the struggle and the loneliness—but who could also share their stepping stones toward higher ground. The moments shared by these individuals are humbling, to say the least: ~A life-altering car accident ~A woman’s quest to escape addiction and life under a bridge ~A nurtured passion, years of hard work and memories, stolen by Hurricane Katrina ~A late-night phone call, notifying a woman that the police may have found her husband’s body ~A vision bestowed on a man, moving him and others to walk away from safety and toward the unknown How do these anecdotes apply to you? Are there common denominators? Or are we all separated by our own circumstances and experiences? The lessons gleaned from these testimonies are invaluable—sparks of hope demanding to extinguish the shadows. “The essays themselves are tightly paced and engaging....Inspirational without being patronizing; a well-organized collection.” —Kirkus Reviews San Francisco Book Review: sanfranciscobookreview.com/product/common-stones/ Manhattan Book Review: manhattanbookreview.com/product/common-stones/

That’s just one of his many observations in this book that reveals nuggets of wisdom, such as: • the world and how it spins on a daily basis has changed—and mostly not for the good; • younger generations are not taught the respect, pride, and the drive that we were growing up; • today’s parenting skills with the shunning of corporal punishment leave a lot to be desired. Libraries, toys that were interactive and not on a screen, cars without computers that you could actually fix in your driveway, and three channels on the TV—these are a few of the things that the author believes built a strong generation. Learn lessons from the past and get to the bottom of where we’ve gone wrong with the insights and observations in Living at the Zoo.
