Description

In this episode of the Black Doctors Speak podcast, I’m joined by Bernadette Hudgins, founder of Your Golden Connection, a powerful platform dedicated to helping families plan and care for their aging loved ones with grace, dignity, and strategy.

We discuss:

  • The emotional and cultural barriers that often prevent Black families from planning ahead

  • How to have “the talk” with aging parents—before a crisis hits

  • The importance of building a caregiving village, and who should be in it

  • Legal, financial, and healthcare decisions every family should be making

  • How to empower our elders while still giving them the support they need

Whether you're already caregiving or just starting to think about what aging means in your family, this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to act.
