In honor of March as National Women’s History Month, Bring It On! is spot-lighting how the COIVD-19 has affected black women, in the first of a two-part series about the impact of COVID-19 on the black community and the response of the black community to the COVID-19 vaccines.

Today hosts, Liz Mitchell and William Hosea speak with three African American women who are highly trained medical health practitioners to examine to explain how COVID-19 has affected black women and the black community in general. With us today are:
