Episode description

Here is a hard and horrifying truth to accept: forced sterilization still happens in the modern world, including in the U.S., and women of color are disproportionately impacted. 

Inspired by a shocking Verily article on this subject, today on Wellness Wednesday 3W CEO Helen Nguyen shares the story of her own grandmother, a Vietnamese refugee who was sterilized without her knowledge or consent—on U.S. soil, after fleeing communist rule.
