Soledad O’Brien on Lifting Marginalized Communities Through Storytelling

Dr. Lucy McBride

Oct 31, 2022

You can also listen to this episode on Spotify!

This week, we go BEYOND THE PRESCRIPTION with award-winning journalist, producer, and documentarian Soledad O'Brien. She discusses her new film, The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks, the first-ever full documentary of one of the most celebrated — and misrepresented — Americans of the 20th century. We discuss the importance of storytelling to accurately portray historical figures; to lift up marginalized populations; and to educate us all. Soledad talks openly about the personal and professional challenges she has faced as a woman of color and her “life hacks” for taking care of her physical and mental health.

Discussion about this podcast

Beyond the Prescription

Each week, Dr. Lucy McBride talks with her guests like she does her patients — pulling the curtain back on what it means to be healthy, connecting the dots between mental and physical health. To Dr. McBride, health is about more than the absence of disease. Health is a process, not an outcome. It's about having awareness of our medical facts, acceptance of the things we cannot control, and agency over what we can change.
