Let’s Talk Health Equity, HBCU’s, Black Men in Medicine and Anti-Racism
In this episode, we are joined by Gerald Onuoha, MD, an internal medicine hospitalist in Nashville, TN and founder of Everybody vs Racism. Prompted by the death of George Floyd, Everybody vs Racism’s mission is to Eradicate Racism by providing awareness, education, and resources to communities, organizations, and businesses in the private and public sector about social injustices, systematic racism, and equal opportunities for EVERYBODY.
Dr. Onuoha is a graduate of Tennessee State University and Meharry Medical College. We discuss the nurture and support provided by HBCU’s, contrasted by the saddening statistics of black men in medicine today and the possibilities of early intervention to combat the school to prison pipeline. Our conversation also explores the dynamic nature of blackness in America and the diaspora, resilience and the opportunities for community building.
