Member Spotlight
Black women lawyers and Black women doctors are really the other side of the same coin. We’re both women who got our professional degrees. We realize that we haven’t gotten to know each other and haven’t supported each other in the past. We’re Black women who were crazy enough to enter White male-dominated industries. And we’re women who had the audacity to believe we could do it and be successful at it.

As you get exposed to the field, you become more educated and realize how much the medical industry can work against Black folks. Even in my surgery residency, I saw how people are treated, ignored, and their complaints not taken seriously. And I actually still see that. But now I’m in a position as a surgeon and can say the bus stops with me.
