In this week’s episode of Island Money 365, I had the pleasure of speaking with Simona Zaneta, a Registered Nurse, Health Equity Consultant, and Life Skills Coach with over 20 years of experience, primarily in cardiothoracic surgery. Simona, originally from Barbados, shared her passion for advocating for better healthcare, especially within Black and Brown communities.

She emphasized the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare, encouraging us to take charge and even change providers if we’re not receiving proper care.

Simona also discussed how our diet directly impacts our health and provided insights on how to enjoy ethnic foods while remaining health conscious. Throughout our conversation, her deep commitment to empowering her community with tools for health and success was clear. We also explored her family’s migration story, adding another layer to her rich narrative of resilience and dedication.

Migrating to a new country is never easy but it takes a special person to make such a sacrifice. Why? Because you leave so much of who you are behind; Family, Country and to a certain extent a piece of yourself all in HOPE to give you and your family the opportunity to put themselves in a better position. On this episode, I share a little of my migration story from my experience in school to the struggles my mom faced raising us on her own.
