Description
Dr. Chika Stacy Oriuwa is an accomplished doctor and poet – but in 2016 she made headlines for something else. In her medical school class at the University of Toronto, she was the only Black student. She went on to become the first Black woman named sole valedictorian of the department. Since then, Dr. Oriuwa has taken up the work of creating opportunities for other racialized people in medicine. She tells Piya Chattopadhyay about her journey to becoming a doctor and finding her voice as explored in her new memoir Unlike the Rest: A Doctor's Story.
