    Rooted in Evidence: Dr. Chaniece Wallace
    Jun 30 2025
    In the premiere episode of "Rooted in Evidence," the new Maternal Health Mondays series from the Rooted Will Rising Advocate podcast, we investigate the heartbreaking and preventable death of Dr. Chaniece Wallace. A brilliant pediatric chief resident, Dr. Wallace died from postpartum preeclampsia just two days after giving birth to her beautiful daughter, Charlotte. This isn't just a retelling of a tragedy; it's a case file. We analyze the timeline of events, break down the critical warning signs of postpartum preeclampsia—severe headaches, high blood pressure, abdominal pain—and equip you with the exact language to use when advocating for yourself or a loved one. Learn how to turn concern into action and demand the care you deserve. Join us as we transform this story into evidence and empower our community in the fight for birth justice and health equity.

  • Alzheimer's Series (EP 2): It's Not Just Aging

    Alzheimer's Series (EP 2): It's Not Just Aging
    Jun 9 2025
    In this empowering episode of the Rooted Will, Rising Advocate Podcast, host Mahogany tackles the crucial topic of memory loss in Black women—what’s normal, what’s not, and when to start asking questions. Black women face disproportionately high risks of Alzheimer’s disease. Yet, many symptoms are brushed off as “just getting older.” Mahogany gently walks listeners through the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s that are often missed in our communities. She shares a powerful African parable about tending to the brain like sacred soil and offers clear, culturally grounded advice on when to speak up, how to get evaluated, and what tools are available—like the ROOTEDMind Alzheimer’s Awareness Tool.

    ✨ Whether you’re noticing changes in yourself or someone you love, this episode is your reminder: you are not overreacting—you are advocating.
