From digging in the dumpster behind a Sam’s Club in Lake Charles, LA for dinner, to US Navy military service in the nation’s capitol, to US Navy deployments worldwide, an education at an HBCU while simultaneously operating as a new father, security guard, and US Navy Reserve serviceman, to a PhD in Molecular Oncology and Tumor Immunology from NYU School of Medicine, and an MD & MBA from Tulane School of Medicine, this journey is one that will be shared globally for a while.    
   
That story has been told on Steve Harvey’s Steve On Show, CNN, Washington Post, Vogue, The Doctor’s, Drew Barrymore, People Magazine, Essence, BET, WebMD, Diversity in Action, Dr. Oz, and others.    
   
In addition, I am the co-founder of The 15 White Coats (Instagram & Twitter: @the15whitecoats). The photo of 15 Black medical students in front of the Whitney Plantation Slave Quarter went viral. The 15 White Coats is a world-renowned organization that helps to propel underrepresented minority students to the next levels of education by providing inspiration and economic support. The 15 White Coats have been featured on CNN, MSNBC, People Magazine, NPR, Washington Post, The Steve Harvey Show, Good Morning America, and most recently the Kelly Clarkson show.    
   
I am also the author of the literary work published in Nature, Bootless, which outlines the dichotomy of being a Successful Black man in America and its untold challenges. Oh yeah, and I am a Man of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated🤘🏿
