Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Melanye “Dr. Mac.” Maclin joins Rushion McDonald to discuss the serious health risks associated with hair relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic braids—particularly among Black women. Drawing from over 25 years of research and patient experience, she explains how chemicals used in these products absorb through the scalp, disrupt hormones, and significantly increase the risks of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, early puberty, fibroids, and infertility. The conversation also highlights systemic resistance from the beauty industry, government agencies, and even consumers themselves—primarily due to financial incentives and lack of awareness. Dr. Mac advocates for safer hair practices, increased education, and protective measures to reduce exposure. She also discusses her pioneering internal hair‑health supplements, Bella Nutri, for women (2004) and men (2008), and how she helped introduce the U.S. market to nutritional hair support long before it was mainstream. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: 1. Educate listeners about the hidden health dangers …of chemical hair treatments including relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic hair containing benzene. 2. Advocate for informed hair‑care decisions Dr. Mac wants women—especially Black women—to understand how beauty practices impact long‑term health. 3. Encourage the beauty industry to adopt safety protocols Such as scalp protection, warning labels, and honest communication about risks. 4. Highlight Dr. Mac’s work and products Including her Bella Nutri supplements and educational platforms (Ask Dr. Mac). 5. Empower parents to protect children By avoiding chemical treatments on young girls whose bodies are especially vulnerable. Key Takeaways 1. Chemical relaxers and permanent hair dyes are strongly linked to increased cancer risks. Permanent dyes raise the risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. Black women exhibit a 45% increased risk of breast cancer when using permanent dyes. Combining dyes with relaxers significantly compounds the danger. 2. The danger comes from chemical absorption into the scalp. Relaxer chemicals include sodium, calcium, guanine, and lithium hydroxide. These chemicals burn through the scalp, entering the bloodstream and disrupting hormones, leading to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, and cancer. 3. Synthetic braiding hair contains benzene—a carcinogen. Benzene exposure affects both the stylist and the client. Risks include lung cancer and leukemia. 4. The beauty industry resists change because of profit. Salons rarely display warnings because “it affects business.” The relaxer–damage→hair‑loss→extensions cycle creates a lucrative revenue loop. 5. Children are especially vulnerable to chemical exposure. Relaxers on children under 10 can cause: early puberty fibroids infertility early hysterectomies increased cancer risk Dr. Mac advises never relaxing a child’s hair, but if done, the product must stay on no more than 5–10 minutes with complete scalp protection. 6. Scalp protection is essential for anyone still using relaxers. Use petroleum jelly over the entire scalp, not just the hairline. This reduces chemical absorption during both application and rinsing. 7. Dr. Mac pioneered the U.S. hair‑supplement industry. Developed Bella Nutri after research with a Finnish company (Scalp). Initially dismissed as a “witch doctor,” but now the hair‑supplement market is mainstream. 8. She refuses to participate in relaxer‑related lawsuits. Because she has warned people for 20+ years, she cannot ethically testify for those who ignored repeated warnings. Notable Quotes On the impact of chemicals: “The chemicals burn through the scalp… getting into the main bloodstream and causing hormone disruption.” On the increased cancer risk: “African‑Americans have a more than 45% increased risk when we use permanent hair dyes.” On synthetic braids: “As long as that synthetic hair is on her head, she is breathing in benzene.” On industry pushback: “People are about the green‑eyed devil called money.” On relaxing children’s hair: “Hopefully a mother doesn’t take her child to get a relaxer.” “Hair chemicals can lead to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, even hysterectomies before age 40.” On the vicious cycle of damage and profit: “It’s a 360‑degree money‑making cycle.” On caring more than her patients: “I feel like I’m caring more about someone’s health than they are caring about their own.” On pioneering supplements: “Hair and skin are internal organs—they manifest externally.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, in honor of Black History Month, we're exploring what happens when inequity itself becomes a risk factor for breast cancer in the Black community — shaping who gets screened, how quickly they're diagnosed and, ultimately, who survives. Our guest, Dr. Lori Pierce, is a renowned radiation oncologist, former ASCO president and Komen Scholar, and national leader in advancing equity in cancer care. She has dedicated her career to improving outcomes of women with breast cancer, with a focus on the underserved, by transforming not just treatments but the systems that deliver them. Her perspective is rigorous, compassionate and urgently needed.

Dr. Sonja Hughes, OB-GYN and vice president of community health at Susan G. Komen, highlights promising data showing that fewer Black women died from breast cancer in nine major cities over the past decade.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tavis-smiley--6286410/support.

In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores how the Emmy-winning and Golden Globe–winning medical drama The Pitt portrays eating disorders, emergency medicine, and bias in ways that feel both culturally meaningful and clinically relevant. She reflects on how the show separates two critical themes across seasons: the medical system's tendency to miss eating disorders in Black women, and the role of weight bias in emergency department diagnosis and care. Drawing from years of clinical experience, Dr. Miller discusses how many clients first encounter medical crisis in emergency rooms, often because of dangerously low heart rates, dizziness, fainting, or other complications linked to disordered eating. She explains how ER responses vary widely, and how bias, time pressure, and assumptions about body size or race can shape whether clinicians recognize eating disorder symptoms. The episode highlights a season two storyline in which a Black woman presents to the ER without classic eating disorder signs, making diagnosis more complex. Dr. Marianne examines why missing textbook symptoms often leads clinicians to overlook bulimia and other eating disorders, especially in populations that medicine historically underdiagnoses. She also reflects on how the show names this reality directly and why that representation matters for visibility, validation, and future care. Dr. Marianne then turns to season one's depiction of a physician challenging a resident's assumption that body weight predicts health. She explores how medical weight bias affects diagnosis, delays treatment, and reinforces stigma in emergency medicine. She also shares the change she wishes the episode had made, noting that many people with bulimia live in bodies that are not thin, and that anti-fat bias and racial bias together create additional barriers for Black women seeking care. Throughout the episode, Dr. Marianne centers a liberation-informed lens that honors intersectionality, context, nervous system safety, and autonomy in eating disorder recovery. She invites listeners to consider how accurate media representation can shift clinical awareness and expand who medicine recognizes as deserving care. You can watch The Pitt on HBO and HBO Max. Topics Covered in This Episode Eating disorders in Black women Missed diagnosis in emergency medicine Low heart rate and medical risk in eating disorders Bulimia without classic symptoms Medical weight bias in ER care Race, stigma, and underdiagnosis Media representation and clinical awareness Liberation-informed eating disorder therapy Related Episodes Boundaries, Therapy While Black, & Eating Disorders with Kaela Farrise, LMFT on Apple and Spotify.

Mississippi Appendectomy refers to the involuntary and forced sterilization of Black Women in the southern United States from the 1920's through the 1980's.  This procedure was bolstered by the practice of Eugenics whereby scientists and political leaders enacted state control through sterilization laws to govern the population growth of Black people not unlike that which occurred on the slave plantations.  The notion that reproduction was restricted to candidates deemed fit and black women were only 12% of the population yet 64% of those sterilized demonstrates the states' antipathy of Black proliferation.The celebrated feminist and women's rights activist Margaret Sanger was a prominent eugenicist and proponent of arresting the growth of the Black population.  As an advocate of birth control, especially for Black women, her intentions towards Blacks have been described as genocidal.In 1964, during her testimony at the Democratic National Convention, Fannie Lou Hamer detailed her experience of being forcibly sterilized while in the hospital to have a non-cancerous tumor removed.  Her remarks were so striking that President Lyndon B. Johnson interrupted her speech, calling a press conference to distract the public away from her testimony. Sadly forced sterilizations are not transgressions of the past.  Women continue to be impacted, specifically while in detention centers, not unlike those who were institutionalized in the 1930's through 1980's.To learn more about the modern day forced sterilization of women imprisoned in California and ICE detention facilities in Georgia, visit these links:https://www.democracynow.org/2020/9/22/belly_of_the_beast_documentaryhttps://www.democracynow.org/2020/9/22/new_film_links_forced_sterilization_inIf you would like to engage with the podcast, submit your listener questions to info@NurahSpeaks.com.  Listeners can also learn more by visiting NurahSpeaks.com.You can follow Nurah Speaks on X, Instagram and Facebook @NurahSpeaks and subscribe to the channel on YouTube.

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Freddie Bell speaks with public history researcher Jeremiah Ellis about his Minnesota Historical Society–published article, The Overlooked Legacy: Black Women of the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant. Ellis shares the powerful stories of the “Black Rosies” who worked at the New Brighton plant during World War II, breaking racial and gender barriers while helping power the war effort. The conversation highlights how these women moved beyond domestic work into skilled and leadership roles, despite facing discrimination and danger, and how their economic gains helped strengthen Minnesota's Black middle class. Ellis also explains why these stories were erased for decades and how reclaiming them reshapes our understanding of history, justice, and the foundations of today's civil rights movements.

Hey lady! We know that right now the onslaught of news is hard to escape. Everyday there is a new anxiety-inducing development, a new manufactured fear to distract us from our mission’s work. We’re here to tell you that if you are having a hard time keeping your head up, you are not alone. What we’re experiencing is not normal, which is why Terri and Dr. Dom invited friend of the show and American Psychological Association President Dr. Wendi Williams to have a heart-to-heart about the psychological toll that’s being levied onto the American populace, particularly Black women. Not only are we witnessing horrendous injustices, confusing schemes, and a barrage of misinformation from the administration but we are witnessing a targeted attack on the Black woman worker in the economy. Dr. Wendi breaks down the historical implications of the reported 300,000 Black women who have suffered job loss or prolonged absence from the workforce. She states that the number is actually higher. You’ll have to tune in to hear why. Dr. Wendi also talks about why her role as the president of the American Psychological Association is critical as we begin to imagine the solutions that will help us fight our way out of this mess. Dr. Wendi keeps it real about the moment we’re in, but she offers perspective that will inspire hope in your heart. Lady, by now you know we all we got. Hold tight to your sister friends and send them this episode so we can keep each other uplifted and informed.
