Have you ever wondered “why don't I see more black teachers, professors, or blacks in education in general?”  Substitute women or any other minority group? We have been digging deep into this topic, specifically in academic medicine, and this is your introduction.  In this episode of Dream Lab Podcast, we explore the struggles that Underrepresented Minorities (URMs) face regarding academic promotion and the importance of mentorship programs to support the advancement of URMs in academic medicine.

In this episode, I reconnect with Aisha DeBerry who worked in the Office of Admissions when I was in medical school.  We chat about the importance of the Office of Admissions and how connecting with them during the admissions process is a win-win.  This is part 1 of a two-part series.  Aisha is now back at GA-PCOM as the Director of Diversity and Community Partnerships.  You can learn more about the great things she is doing at aishadeberry.com.

Beyonce didn't start out flawless and neither will you.  In this 10th episode, I talk about my current and upcoming projects as well as touch on the topic of starting something even when you don't have everything perfectly aligned.  I call that an imperfect start.  I also intentionally did not edit out my flubs because...I too am imperfect.  Perfection comes with time but you have to start first. Finally, thank you, thank you, thank you for riding with us to episode #10.   #imperfectstart #perfectpractice #flawless #iwokeuplikethis #milestones #episode10

While performing leadership rounds I met the shadow of one of my providers and stopped to chat.  She is a pre-med student in college and her husband is active duty military.  This episode is a summary of our chat.  

It's finally here, our third episode in the Tuskegee University series. This episode was special for me because this group (only part of our whole) helped me get through the tough times in college and we shared a lot of memories.  I hope you can feel our love for each other and “Mother Tuskegee” coming through in this episode with the laughter and sharing of stories.  #Tuskegee #TuskegeeAirmen #HBCU

We are starting the New Year with episode #5! Here, I let you in on how I ended up at Tuskegee and in ROTC and give you some tips for the Air Force standardized tests that were mentioned.  Have more questions?  Post them in the comment section. 

Welcome back, dreamers!  Here we have yet another amazing episode of Dream Lab Podcast.  I invited some of my Tuskegee University friends who I met in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program.  I could have easily chatted with them all day but we just didn't have the time. You will learn a little about their journey to TU and our experiences in the ROTC program.  I hope you enjoy it. 

Welcome back, Dreamers!  In this episode, I start the conversation about letters of recommendation with some tips that I have learned or acquired over the years.  Chances are you will either need a letter of recommendation or need to write one.  I have had experience with both.  I am sure this episode will evolve over time but here is the first iteration of it and my first tip episode.  I hope the information helps AND let me know if I left anything out.  Enjoy! 

Welcome back, Dreamers!  In this episode, I had the opportunity to chat with Kelly, a business owner in Stone Oak in San Antonio, Texas.  She is the owner and director of Second Act Productions where she provides an outlet for the stone oak community through the magic of theater.  She offers workshops, productions, and private lessons.

This is our very first published episode and my favorite thus far.  My girlfriends, who are mothers to multiples, married, and working full time share their experiences during this crazy time.  I really wanted to talk about how COVID has affected us, our families, our schedules, and everything in between.
