185. A Stroke of Grace: Helping Black Survivors Reclaim Their Lives with Dr. Christine Cosby-Gaither
Did you know Black Americans are twice as likely to have a stroke-sometimes as early as age 22? In honor of Mental Health and Stroke Awareness Month, we welcome Dr. Christine Cosby-Gaither, Visionary Founder and Executive Director of A Stroke of Grace, to discuss how her nonprofit supports Black stroke survivors and their families. Find out how to spot stroke symptoms early using the B.E. F.A.S.T. Method and learn practical steps to ‘build a new normal’ after a stroke. Protect yourself and your loved ones.
Dr. Cosby-Gaither completed both her Doctorate of Education and MS in Business Communication at Spaulding University in Louisville, Kentucky, and she received her Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Northern Kentucky University. After surviving a life-changing stroke in 2019, she turned her pain into purpose — creating trauma-informed courses, healing workbooks, and the KNOW THE SIGNS Stroke Prevention Pocket Guide to empower and educate communities. She also serves as Director of Black Health Equity at Simmons College of Kentucky (the nation’s 107th Historically Black College and University), where she leads efforts to address systemic health disparities. Dr. Cosby-Gaither is the author of “Beyond the Stroke: A Survivor’s Quest for Courage” and a contributing author in the anthology “Coaching Gurus”, where her chapter ‘Strength and Courage’ shares her powerful story.
