DEI work is sacred, but it can also be heavy on the heart.
We carry other people’s traumas, confusion, resistance, and fears — often without acknowledgment.
The emotional tax is real.
To protect yourself:
- Use boundaries as a form of self-respect
- Document what you experience
- Remember: you educate, but you don’t absorb
- Take rest as seriously as work
You can advocate without losing yourself.
Self-preservation is not selfish — it is strategy.
I’m Mz Bev—writer, radiologic technologist, walker, pray-er, and woman shaped by both the beauty and the breaking of this world.
I’ve lived the frontline of healthcare in ways most people only read about. I was there during the Oklahoma City bombing, standing in the middle of chaos with nothing but my training, my faith, and my heartbeat to guide me. That moment didn’t just change my career—it changed my calling. It taught me that every human being is a story, and every story deserves to be seen.
These days, I find my rhythm in simpler rituals: a brisk 15-30min walk to clear my mind, or a dance to delight my soul, a whispered prayer before the day begins, a journal entry to release what my spirit has been carrying. I write because it heals. I sing because it frees me. I advocate because the old systemic issues—discrimination, inequity, the crushing weight of medical bills—are still too real for too many.
I’ve watched technology transform healthcare in extraordinary ways, yet I’ve also seen how humanity can get lost in the upgrades. That’s why this blog exists. The House of Mz Bev & Perspective is where I bring it all together—my music, my lived experience, my professional insight, my faith, and my fire for justice.
This is my space to tell the truth with tenderness. To honor the people who keep showing up. To remind us that healing is not just clinical – it’s emotional, spiritual, cultural, and communal.
Welcome to my house. My perspective. My music. My witness. Where Your thoughts and voice matter. too
