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 books to cultivate self-love in Black kids.
Using your frustrations as Black women to inspire you to start getting active and creating powerful tools and spaces
how podcasts can really serve as a venue for Black women in medicine to expand on the 15 minute office visits to really touch on the topics to educate and advocate for Black families uniquely
Identifying your unique calling to addressing the problems that are important to you and moving past the fear of failing (and even succeeding)
being comfortable to do the scary thing even though the whole journey is not clear and how our journeys have been extremely iterative
