Why Are African Americans Highly Impacted By COVID 19?

The Skelton Report

Dissertation Journey: Episode 1

I return with greetings and good news for the New Year! I am beginning my dissertation process and want you to join me on the journey. I will be looking at a combination of COVID 19, African Americans, and Spirituality. Throughout this journey I want to share what the research and science is revealing on the subject. On this episode, I share what I am learning regarding the African American COVID 19 disparities in infections and death. Along with some of the reasons there is are disproportionate rates with African American communities. Tune in and join me on the journey!
