Episode 11: With Knowledge Comes Strength (with Dr. Glenna Brewster)

For this week's conversation I am joined by Dr. Glenna Brewster.
Dr. Brewster, who is originally from St. Vincent and the
Grenadines and now resides in the United States, is an Assistant
Professor on the tenure track at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School
of Nursing at Emory University and a Family Nurse Practitioner in
the Integrated Memory Care clinic. Her current program of
research aims to examine the effects of sleep disturbance and
behavioral sleep interventions on psychological, cognitive, and
physiological outcomes in persons living with dementia and their
caregivers. In addition to sharing her personal connections to
her work, Dr. Brewster guides us through a deeper understanding
of dementia, its effects and impacts, and the benefits to both
caregivers and individuals living with dementia when knowledge
becomes power and influences one's state of mind. 



Shifting Perspectives is a conversation with Yolande and Latasha
that challenges listeners to fuel themselves with diversity in
the way they think, the way they work, the way they parent and
the way they live their lives.
