#fritafisherMD Honoring #InternationalWomensDay #SeeYourselfChallenge If I had to describe myself with just one word, it would be #Advocate. How would you describe yourself with one word? @CBS46 @ShonGables . UghThis was a tough one...Describing myself with one word for this ‘See Yourself Challenge’ wasn’t easy because I’m not exactly a one-dimensional kind of a lady. You might find me speaking with my patients using the most proper grammar and decorum one minutethen litera...lly dancing in the streets and celebrating life the nexta mess! If I did have to tie the multi-faceted me up in a bow with one word, however, it would be ‘Advocate’. In everything I do, I want to encourage people to find the very best in themselves. It is paramount for my patients to understand that there is power in their voices and that they have the authority to advocate for their own health. I want people with disABILITIES to have the fortitude to say, I can when the world tells them they can’t. I want every marginalized, underserved, underestimated person in our community to find that force inside to speak truth to powerYeahI am a people lover, a proud woman, and an advocate. . #internationalwomensday2021 #womensupportingwomen #womenshistorymonth #womenempowerment #dst1913 @mracdst @alotvgg . #visABILITY #advocate #BoardCertified #Nephrologist #MedPeds #AOA#femaledoctor #blackdoctor#MeharryMade #emoryuniversity #georgetownuniversity #FSU #medicalexpert #blackdoctors #YouTubeDrFrita See more

What are some of the warning signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure? https://youtu.be/TBj3np_L9Fw Some of the symptoms include shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion meaning you have a hard time breathing when you exert yourself. And if you get severe congestive heart failure you can actually develop shortness of breath even with no activity. https://youtu.be/TBj3np_L9Fw

Should you take the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine? Rumor vs Reality: https://youtu.be/xZ7idNrRZDc If you are offered the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, should you laugh in your doctor's face? Or is the Johnson & Johnson vaccine still a good one with more protection than you may realize? Rumor vs Reality, let's talk about it. I'm really curious to see what your thoughts are, would you get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine if it were the only vaccine available to you? Please comment on the video. https://youtu.be/xZ7idNrRZDc

Do you know someone with diabetes or does diabetes run in your family? Do you have diabetes? More than likely the answer to at least one of these questions is yes. https://youtu.be/Ur4g7ArdAZE In the United States, more revenue and more money are spent on diabetes than any other condition. Diabetes is a leading cause of heart disease, strokes, poor circulation, poor wound healing, and diabetes is the number one cause of kidney failure in the United States. So how do you know if you have diabetes? Today I'm going to give you 10 warning signs and symptoms of diabetes you should NEVER ignore. https://youtu.be/Ur4g7ArdAZE

#fritafisherMDMy not-so-‘mean'ager...I give my 14-year-old a hard time for being such a mellow, introvert in a house full loud and lively people. I tell her she’s being mean when she starts her conversations off with, Remember life before the twins came to live with us?as if her siblings are some inconvenient package I picked up from the Dollar TreeAnywaythis pandemic has magnified what a kind kid my teenager really is. She never gives me attitude when I ask her to do things - even when I call her upstairs to pass me the remote(What?!Don’t judge me.) She films most of my YouTube videos and gives me advice (all be it unsolicited). She is an independent, responsible student. She does her own laundry.Bottom line: God gave me a good one when he blessed me with Amara. . #MeanAger

#fritafisherMD This is NOT how this was supposed to go!!! Why must my son REMIX my favorite Christmas Carols?! . This is ridiculous...I am very controlling and rigid about my definition of "Christmas Fun(What? ...That’s reasonable.)

When they learned it (under duress) my son sounded like a little yuletide angelSo WHY did he drop the lovely melody I taught him and, instead, channel... his innermost @LilJon, @Migos, and @KodakBlack when it came time to execute the FUN???!!!at least my youngest daughter was cooperativeI didn’t even try it with the teenager . #christmasdecorating #christmascaroling #NoWireHANGERS #MommyDearest #achristmascarol #familylaughs #familyfirst #busyboys #goodgirls #teenagegirls #workingmoms #pandemiclife #visABILITY #AOA #tripleboardcertified #emoryuniversity #georgetownuniversity #MedPeds #Nephrology #femaledoctor #blackdoctor #blackdoctors #KEmade#MeharryMade #YouTubeDrFrita

Over 30 million people in the United States have a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease and 33% are at risk for CKD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlYagOmzStg&t That means when you are driving down the highway, one out of every three drivers that you pass is at risk for chronic kidney disease. And many of them don't even know it and that's because kidney disease is largely a silent disease. Watch the full video here and don't forget to leave a comment or question!
