Success in healthcare is not measured solely in patient numbers but in the positive impact, we make on the communities we serve. In our world, not everyone has the same chance to be healthy. Some people face obstacles that make it harder for them to access good healthcare and live a healthy life. Certain groups of people have their health at risk due to unfair barriers and unequal opportunities, making it difficult for them to afford their needed medicine.   Moreover, it is vital to realize that health injustice happens to many people not because they don't care about their health but because of specific reasons including the place they were born, their income, or even the color of their skin. Hence, to fix these problems, we must work towards a healthcare system that goes beyond just treating illnesses but also addresses the root causes of health inequalities. Therefore, at the end of the day, healthcare is a right and not a privilege determined by one's background or circumstances.   Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo is a healthcare founder, social entrepreneurship coach, healthcare practice funding consultant, and growth strategist for women of color in healthcare. Her career as a pediatrician spans almost 2 decades and includes her work as a public health researcher & professor for over a decade.

Dr. Omolara co-founded Strong Children Wellness which provides integrated physical health, mental health, and social services for minoritized, low-income children and families. She founded Melanin & Medicine which helps mission-driven practices secure capital without incurring debt or diluting equity. Dr. Uwemedimo is an expert in purpose-led entrepreneurship, securing funding for healthcare, addressing medical racism for marginalized providers and patients, and building socially responsive healthcare spaces.   In this special episode with Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo, we will learn about the journey of a remarkable woman who has not only embraced diverse roles in healthcare but has also pioneered innovative approaches to address the needs of the underserved. The conversation highlights her dedication to healthcare, her global perspective, and her commitment to health equity and justice.

And I want to use my platform, which is a privilege that I have to be able to share your story with other people.' There's no better than that. I think is the most humbling thing that anybody can hear. For somebody to say, I think your story matters because for so long we all deal with imposter syndrome and self-doubt, and that's regardless of what you look like.”  Guest Info: Jerry Won is a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, and host who has worked with some of the world's most recognized brands in corporate and higher education. He speaks on a variety of topics including authentic storytelling, personal branding, and the Asian American experience in the workplace. He is the Founder & CEO of Just Like Media, an Asian American storytelling company whose podcast brands include Dear Asian Americans, MBAsians, The Janchi Show, and Asian Podcast Network; partnerships include McDonald's, US Census 2020, and US Dept. of Health and Human Services.

She is the voice behind Melanin & Medicine. No more feeling burnout and stuck when wearing those white jackets Doctor Jane Doe our guest this evening will tell you why. This episode of Unleashed Unapologetically is about taking a step back to evaluate where you want to be in the future. Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo is board-certified pediatrician, an advocate, a professor & researcher committed to ensuring women have an equal right to thrive, mostly she is a career transition strategist. As the CEO and Founder of Melanin & Medicine she is devoting her time to support Black Women Physicians who are transitioning in their careers. Her experience undergoing an autoimmune disease that led her to relearn how to walk, and due to excessive burnout Dr. Omolara decided that she would change the trajectory of how black women physicians value their time and health. There are many women physicians who endure stress, isolation and burnout due to the exclusion of diversity and equity that exists in healthcare settings. There is a high rate of feeling isolated while enduring severe discrimination due to the color of your skin that you do not hear Black Women Physicians talk about. Dr. Omolara created her company Melanin & Medicine to provide women physicians of color the support and programming they need. As an advocate and speaker to both physician and community audiences she expresses her expertise in the fields of implicit bias in healthcare settings, inclusion and equity for women physicians in healthcare, racism in health, and health of marginalized children and families.

As the country continues to grapple with the impact of racism in our communities, we wanted to understand how an institution like healthcare - which prides itself on scientific objectivity - was coming to terms with the impact racism has on doctors and patients alike. We reached out to Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo, a leading voice in advocating for black women physicians, to talk about her experiences as a doctor, as a patient and as a community builder seeking to heal with more than just medicine.    We sat with Dr. Uwemedimo on a canal separating her Long Island town of Baldwin, from neighboring Oceanside, New York. It was one of the first warm days of spring, and it seemed like everyone in the neighborhood was out with a leaf-blower or lawnmower, and every bird had a lot to say, especially the ducks and geese and laughing gulls that Omolara's kids consider their pets.    Luckily, Omolara is practiced at staying serene amidst chaos. She was a practicing pediatrician for many years in the United States as well as in several countries across Latin America, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, while also teaching at Columbia University Medical Center, and founding the organizations Melanin and Medicine — to support black women doctors — and the Coalition To Advance Antiracism in Medicine.   She holds a bachelors degree in biomedical sciences from the City University of New York, she received her medical degree from New York University School of Medicine and completed her residency training in pediatrics at the Boston Medical Center / Children's Hospital Boston. She completed a research fellowship in health services research while completing a master's degree in population and family health at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.

Today I am speaking with physician and success strategist Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo, creator of Melanin, Medicine & Motherhood.  In this juicy episode we discuss what Faith means to her, how she uses her voice as an introvert, the major occurrence that happened in her life that caused her to slow down and also some book resources that helped shape her life.

We often hear companies talk about investing in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). But what do those terms really mean? And how can we as managers support DEI regardless of how our organization is approaching it? In this episode, I share my definitions of diversity, equity and inclusion, and allyship. I explain some of the fundamentals so you can cultivate an inclusive and equitable environment in which all team members thrive.

Diversity can be visible or invisible, things we’re born with or acquired over time, and inherent in us or by association.   Diversity is also about how specific groups of people have been privileged or marginalized historically and across cultures. Intersectionality describes how the complex parts of a person come together in ways that compound privilege or marginalization. Equity is about removing barriers to full participation, correcting for systemic obstacles, and providing everyone a truly fair opportunity. Inclusion is about creating an environment where people feel comfortable to be their authentic self without feeling like they need to code-switch or adjust to fit in. Being an ally is about taking on the struggles of the oppressed as your own. Its an ongoing journey that includes making mistakes and learning from them. When someone speaks up to let you know your actions or behaviors are not inclusive or equitable, respond as an ally would by centering the impacted, listening and learning, apologizing even though you didn’t intend it, and stopping the pattern.  Feelings of guilt, defensiveness, anger and conflict avoidance can lead us to respond in unhelpful ways, including centering yourself, denying that other’s experiences are different from your own, derailing, refusing to center the impacted, tone policing, victim blaming, and withdrawing.  Be grateful for the learning opportunities and stay engaged, even when being an ally is hard. Pay attention to things like who speaks first during meetings, who gets credit for ideas, who you invest time and energy in developing, and who you turn to for help.   Additional Resources: Kimberlé Crenshaw TED talk on Intersectionality  A huge thank you to Amelie Lamont for her incredible Guide to Allyship https://guidetoallyship.com/ Episode 89: Growing into an Inclusive Leader with Jennfier Brown Episode 123: Addressing Race and Bias in the Workplace with Aaron Samuels Episode 143: How to Support People of Color at Work with Omolara Uwemedimo mamie@mamieks.com

SHOW NOTES: This week Dr. Omolara and I took the conversation to another level as we talked about the “Strong Black Woman”, and how it's hurting us in this country and beyond. Highlights from the conversation: DR. OMOLARA UWEMEDIMO ● Board-certified pediatrician, professor, and researcher ● Founder, Advocate and Coach at Melanin, Medicine & Motherhood, an empowered and free space. ● Working with marginalized populations SYSTEMS OF OPPRESSION ● The more I learn about white supremacy, the more I understand that we've adopted an internalized racism that's very present in our society. For example, in systems that are so ingrained, such as capitalism, we can see how black women are undervalued and underpaid. Hiring a black woman is seen on many occasions as a “way” to save money. ● Things like this made us force ourselves to become part of the strong back woman trope, which has three components: Emotional suppression, uber independence, and constant self-sacrifice. When we operate like this, we produce and produce at our own expense, but we don't always see the results or we don't feel valued. ● Once we get rid of these symptoms of oppression and forced perfectionism, we can begin to see new possibilities to work on. ● Having a safe space to go for comfort is ok. Falling off again to this “forced toughness” is ok. Learning from experience is ok. What's more important is to recognize that this is a process, and that we have to be patient. Patient with ourselves so we can heal and avoid passing this on to our children. ● Through our recovery we will also be able to reconnect to ourselves as black women or men. Who we are in the present and how it connects to our ancestry, without being defined by outside views and the need to prove them wrong as a compass for our lives. ● What is it that you truly hold as important? Discard the things that you force yourself to feel are important in order to succeed. When we are not thriving inside, that translates on our path.

Diversity, equity and inclusion trainings are unfortunately often aimed at helping white people understand unconscious bias, microaggressions and managing white fragility. While these are important aspects of any company’s DEI journey, it’s important to also attend to the needs and experience of people of color, who have experienced the impact of these. Today’s guest Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo. Omolara is a physician and success strategist who works with women professionals to rediscover their purpose, prevent burnout, and achieve their vision - without resorting to struggle or sacrifice. Omolara and I talk about her approach to providing the space and support for people of color to do their own work while us white folks do our needed work.
