S2E9: Medicine For The Soul: In Conversation with Alexis Umoye

Published: June 26, 2021, midnight

On this week’s episode of Foot On Yo’ Neck we will be discussing the realities of being our whole Black girl selves in academia , grad school, and beyond with Alexis Umoye. Alexis's pronouns are she and her. Alexis Umoye is a second-year medical student at University of California, Davis, where she is a Vice Chancellor MARCH Scholar and a member of the Academic Research Career for Medical Doctors Pathway. Throughout her time in higher education, she has been an advocate for increased diversity and representation for racial communities that have been historically and presently excluded in medicine. Above all, she hopes to continue to build an authentic voice in spaces such as medicine, to amplify issues that directly impact Black women.  If you resonate with our conversation and would like to further support Alexis's work, be sure to follow Alexis on IG @lexumoye or Twitter @UmoyeAlexis.
