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. Her work has been defined by a passion for social justice, serving as an advocate and working as a global physician across sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. 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. She also shares insights about the challenges faced by under-resourced communities and how we can collaborate across various sectors to create meaningful and sustainable change.

She speaks about "weathering," and how BIPOC as a group disproportionately face chronic stress, mental and physical health break down, infertility issues, autoimmune disorders, and more. BIPOC stands for Black and Indigenous People of Color. This term is specific to the historical experiences of this group and therefore the current socioeconomic and political consequences of their experiences. Listen to understand the impact of medical racism and how you can become an accomplice and not just an ally to combat these social issues. Dr. Uwemedimo is a board-certified pediatrician for over 15 years and an academic faculty for over a decade, mentoring women physicians of color. She is also the CEO and founder of Melanin & Medicine, a premier business development & funding coaching company to help support women of color in medicine to secure capital without incurring debt or diluting equity, to build and grow their own healthcare businesses committed to social impact.

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.
May is Mental Health Month and burnout is such a common experience for Black women. On the "Living Black & Being Burned Out" episode host Rae Crowder had a chance to talk with Dr. Omolara Thomas Uwemedimo MD, MPH about how to recognize burnout in ourselves and tips for avoiding burnout in the future. Dr. Uwemedimo is the CEO and founder of Melanin, Medicine & Motherhood, a practicing physician, consultant, mother, and so much more.
