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. No more feeling excluded and burnout Doctor Jane Doe.
