About this listen

Ocean examines the intersection of medicine, race, and gender by centering the experiences of Black women physicians from pioneer Dr. Meta Christy to contemporary leaders like Dr. Fatima Stanford. The episode mixes personal stories, data on underrepresentation, and accounts of microaggressions and institutional gatekeeping.

Through history, analysis, and practical advice, the show argues for systems that no longer demand Black women be superhuman and invites listeners to share their perspectives.
