In this timely and reflective episode, Diversity Focus Today welcomes back special guests Dr. Debrah Miller, MD (Obesity Medicine) and Terra “Poetry in Motion” Cooks to unpack the ongoing impact of COVID-19—from the frontlines of healthcare to the emotional toll on individuals and communities.

We explore how the pandemic has shaped mental health outcomes, disrupted healthcare systems, and spurred new discussions around preventive care, including the heightened awareness of vitamin D deficiency and the evolving role of nutritional supplements in immunity and recovery.

The episode also highlights the power of art and storytelling as vehicles for healing. We take a closer look at Terra Cooks’ acclaimed film, "The Tears of a Nation: The COVID Effect," which offers a moving portrait of collective trauma, resilience, and the often-unheard voices behind the statistics.

This episode is a powerful blend of science, storytelling, and lived experience—designed to inform, inspire, and promote meaningful dialogue about public health, creative expression, and community healing in the post-pandemic era.
