Just wanted to give an. update on what I've been doing for the last 2 years

Needed somewhere to post my project. I'm no professional but one day I will be better at putting audio together. C. diff are bacteria (germs) that cause diarrhea and colitis (an inflammation of the colon). C. diff infections can be life-threatening. They are obligate anaerobic, gram-positive rods, measuring 3–5 μm in length and 0.5 μm in width. They are capsulated, motile by peritrichous flagella and sporulating in nature. Some strains that also contain C. difficile bacteria enter the body through the mouth. It is estimated to cause almost half a million infections in the United States each year. C. diff can affect anyone. Most cases of C. diff occur when you have been taking antibiotics or not long after you have finished taking antibiotics.

This episode Brandon Holman joins me in what felt like a therapy session. With his upbeat attitude and goofy personality, he describes what life was like growing up in the projects of Baltimore, Maryland with a military-minded father and religious mother. He also tells how that upbringing shaped his decisions in his life and how his move to Texas that pushed him to become a financially driven man.

It's kind of heavy one...

This episode my friend Nikki Bray joins me to talk primarily about mental health. However, our discussion took many turns like Nikki's many roadtrips, her interactions with her patients as a nurse, and her plans of having at least a basketball team of her own children. We literally hit every topic. I mentioned Youtuber Anna Akana when we discussed disparities in US Healthcare. Here's the link to that video I referenced: https://youtu.be/EBwElqQ_eUM Be sure to follow not only the podcast but also the "Here We Go with Music" playlist on Spotify. Thanks for the love.

This episode my sisters from other misters Maria and Ashley L accompany me on the topic of our parents, the trials of being raised by them, what they instilled in us, and how they support us as dog moms.
