As we approach the next change of season, it’s time to start thinking about what we — as Black women healthcare professionals at the forefront of making changes in health equity — have done, have yet to do, what seeds we will be planting, and what we’re not feeling quite ready or able yet to grow to fruition out of unpreparedness, fear, reticence, or hesitancy. If you’re feeling stuck in your life, career or business, and unsure how to move forward, I can help you. Check out our FREE tra...

Sometimes it's difficult to shift and approach what we have to leave behind to get to our next level. It's important that you are making sure that you're advocating for where you're supposed to be, whether that be in your current workplace or moving out of that workplace to another or your own healthcare entity and business. There's power in movement, but there's also power in staying where you are and leveraging where you're at for maximum success. To where you want to be. To access th...
We find ourselves “doing” so often that we don’t take the time to reflect on how far we’ve come. That’s why this episode of the Melanin & Medicine Podcast is about reflecting to stay motivated! As Black women, we often limit our dreams, our impact, our wealth & even our legacy by not owning our power & maximizing it.Knowing whether you are fully owning your power is essential for helping you learn how you can tap into more power to live the life you deserve. When you reach ou...
As Black women in healthcare, it’s extremely important for us to be observant about where justice is, who is not at the table and what's not being talked about. In this space, that can be very hard to do. And, it’s particularly important to remember that — doing the type of work we do — healthcare workers go through a lot and have a high rate of burnout and mental illness. In this episode of the Melanin & Medicine podcast we discuss why protecting and preserving each othe...

As health justice centered people in particular, much of the work that we do is quite comfortable. And, it's sometimes difficult to have a clear vision in general for our lives and careers in order to determine what is worth staying for or keeping in our lives opposed to what we should to eliminate, leave and let go to gain personal clarity, career success, and economic independence. We forget to stop and reflect, which keeps us in spaces that do not allow us to evolve, even though our bodies...
As women of color, we have a unique amount of both professional experience that's been curated and personal connections. The ideas that we come up with in terms of what we think is going to be helpful for the health of our communities are extremely culturally informed. Why aren't these accessible to the larger audience? Why aren't we making sure these are available to as many people as possible? If you are someone who has worked in healthcare at any point you have a speaking possibility, if y...
As women of color, a lot of us are indoctrinated to not make waves; to blend in. We were led to be unsure of how the work we are doing would be received, so we became comfortable with shrinking our visibility. But, many of us want to have an impact and want to have our ideas and solutions in health justice extend and not feel as if we are doing something outside of the norm or “outside of the box”. We want vocalization and visibility to be the accepted standard for BIWOC in medicine.Don’t for...
For some of us our workplace is an evolutionary space; a test space to learn what it is we truly desire to truly do. As women of color, many of us have recognized we have to do things differently. We have our jobs, the day-to-day work we do for a clinic, hospital, or organization that earn us a paycheck. But, we’re also out in the community doing healthcare justice work that really matters to us: spreading community health education, creating health programs, launching health fairs, building ...
Welcome to Season 2 of the Melanin & Medicine Podcast!There are so many times when we feel like we’re being blocked from reaching our goals by our own anxiety or hesitancy. This is a pretty common feeling among BIWOC women in healthcare – especially those in positions of creating opportunities for the underserved in the space of health justice. The reality is that we’re not stuck. We’re simply not regularly tapping into the key behaviors that help to keep us moving. It’s just a matter of ...
In this episode, we covered five best practices we teach women in MPOWERED around making the shift into your purpose and overcoming the fear that usually accompanies this pivot! In addition, one of the messages from this episode I want you to take home is guarding yourself against learned helplessness. Life has a way of presenting challenges from all angles, but it’s important not to allow those barriers to redefine the way you view your ability to change what you CAN change. Don’t settle int...
In this week's episode, we continue last week's journey, as we present the additional 4 of 7 key steps you can do to change your circumstances as you prep for your pivot. We cannot ignore the mental preparation and courage it takes to admit that the life we've worked so hard to build has left us strained and out of alignment. The process of leading with fulfillment requires process and strategy. Don't forget: Join the Pivot Into Your Purpose workshop for Black women physicians. T...
This episode shares the first 3 of 7 key steps you can do to help you get unstuck and change your circumstances. Listen in now. I encourage each of you to pause and evaluate exactly what is keeping you stuck in your life. As Black Women we tend to be so resilient that we override our feelings and subscribe to going through the motions with no time to reflect on how we feel and what needs to change for us to seek fulfillment. Despite structural racism, workplace bias, and daily life str...
On this week's episode. I get to speak with Dr. Jackie Douge, general pediatrician and public health professional who is also the host, creator and producer of two podcasts, What is Black and Talking About Books for Kids. She is a staunch advocate against racism and nationally recognized expert in the effects of racism on health. Some of the things that Dr. Douge and I speak about: how Dr. Douge's own childhood of being immersed in Black excellence shaped her desire to create media and...
In this episode, I get to speak with the wonderful, Dr. Katherine Igah-Phillips (“Dr. K.”) about the importance of expanding our concept of wellness outside of physical health and how important this s for Black women, especially given our unique challenges and stressors. Almost everything we discussed was completely new, so you might want to have a pen and paper! Dr. K is an award-winning, international speaker and holistic humanitarian. She uses her expertise in mental, spiritual, and physic...
In this week's episode, we are talking fear. This is the subject that comes up most often in my MPOWERED program, on strategy calls, accountability calls and even in the Facebook group. Fear often times IS rational and based on true reasons, but it is not something that we can't overcome. I use some of the scariest times in my life, including my leap into entrepreneurship from "safe" academia to give some information on what are the fears that tend to hold us back as physicians and what are t...
This month, we are talking about self-preservation and one of the critical steps is staying in community with women who can restore us and support us. So in this episode, I have the pleasure and opportunity to speak to Drs. Yashika Dooley-Chang and Marsha Caton founders of The Thrive 2G Conference, the Premier Conference for women physicians of color who are determined to be changemakers and leaders. This year, the conference is virtual and will launch in early September with over 30 Black wo...

She shares how she has been able to carve out time to build the things that are most important to her. We discuss the importance of having clarity on what you want and staying connected.
