An African-American With A Desire To Inspire.
This is it y’all. My chief year is officially coming to an end. Cleaning out my desk last week to make space for the new chief residents of the program made this fact feel all the more real. They officially took over chief duties this past Tuesday, leaving my co-chiefs and I in this ambiguous […]

I hope that you all have had a wonderful start to the New Year thus far! I feel like someone says this every year but I going to say it anyway: I can’t believe that it is already February! January flew by so fast! Like, I blinked and it was MLK day and then I […]

Your boy is still here making the most of the free time that has been afforded to him during this flex block. 😜 I flew back from Boston last Tuesday and have been hanging around both Chapel Hill and Winston since then. I’ve […]

I only have another two weeks of living in absolute freedom until I go back to school to start Intern Boot Camp, a two-week pre-orientation program that the school organizes for the graduating fourth-years that is full of various sessions […]
Read MoreI don’t know about you, but I was a bit shocked when I woke up this morning and realized that today was the last day in March. Like, WHAT?!? It feels like JUST yesterday that I woke up and blasted Future’s “March Madness” on my speakers on the morning of March 1st! (Yeah I’m lame, […]
Read MoreI’m one week into my Radiology elective and I must say, I’m certainly glad that I not only decided to select this rotation, but also that I ended up placing it at the tailend of my fourth year. 😊 It has been a real chill week, yet I’ve learned a lot of useful information about […]
