Dedication

This book is dedicated to the strong women who raised me. These women have taught me how to lead in both my personal and professional lives. They were my cheerleaders, my motivators, my role models and my strength.

My mother taught me what it meant to be a great mother and advocate for others. Growing up in the inner city of Brooklyn, New York, she was a leader in our community looking out for other children, taking us to activities outside of the neighborhood, and volunteering in our church home.

My grandmother affectionately known as Grandma B. was the matriarch of our family. She took the risk of leaving the South to give her kids and her family a better opportunity in the North. She was a proud woman who often shared stories about our heritage and made me feel proud of who I was.

My cousin Linda was my first teacher. She helped me to become a better student. She was an avid learner, which was infectious, and it made me curious. She was the first in our family to go to college and I wanted to follow in her footsteps. She went on to become a teacher to thousands of students in the inner city of Brooklyn and changed the lives of so many.

My beloved friend Blanche was a mother, sister, prayer warrior, counselor, and supporter. She was there for every accomplishment and every failure. She was strong in fighting a disease that eventually took her life, but she never once complained about being dealt the hand she was given. She lived her life to the fullest and always showed loved to her friends and family.

About the Author

Introduction

As a little girl growing up in the inner city of Brooklyn, New York, I knew I wanted to be a doctor at the age of five. Being raised by a single mom with a high school diploma, I defied the odds. I was accepted to college at the age of 16 and started my leadership journey as a young college student. I established a student run organization called Minorities in Medicine that served as a support group for thousands of pre-med and pre-health students on the campus of Stonybrook University that lasted for 19 years. This would become part of my legacy. I successfully graduated college and was accepted to medical school at the age of 20. I was accepted to my first-choice family medicine residency program,
