Dr. Batts hosts an About That Life podcast episode during Minority Health Awareness Month, highlighting community engagement and a major fundraising event in San Antonio that supports youth programs and small nonprofits. He interviews dance professional and fitness instructor Judith Gibson of Hit Dance, who shares how she started dancing young, was inspired by music videos, and began professional work in 2020.

They discuss dance as an accessible form of movement, especially for African Americans facing disproportionate cardiovascular disease, and how even short daily activity can improve health. Judith encourages beginner friendly dance, incremental nutrition changes with whole foods and substitutions, and giving yourself grace while staying consistent. Dr. Batts closes with three themes for intentional living: build partnerships, be patient, and have purpose, while promoting upcoming collaborative dance content leading to an August event.

In this special patient-story sub-series of the About That L.I.F.E. Podcast, Dr. Travis Batts sits down with Dr. Keith E. Rolle, a retired U.S. Air Force chaplain and founder of Royal Ambassadors Ministry (RAM).

Dr. Rolle shares his inspiring journey from his childhood in the Bahamas to a life of servant leadership, philanthropy, and ministry. In this episode, he also speaks candidly about his personal health journey as he battles a rare form of cardiomyopathy, cardiac amyloidosis, and how faith, mentorship, and community have shaped his resilience.

The conversation explores global healthcare disparities, the importance of mentorship and leadership development, and the vision of Royal Ambassadors Ministry to improve health access and reduce poverty through community development and medical missions.

This episode is a powerful reminder that purpose, faith, and service can endure—even in the face of serious illness.
