Ep. 82 of Conversations with Iris podcast has Iris sitting down with Dr. Eugene Manley. Dr. Manley is a cancer scientist, health equity leader, and longtime patient advocate working at the intersection of biomedical sciences, cancer care, AI ethics, and leadership. As a Black healthcare advocate and founder of a nonprofit focused on cancer health equity, I run an annual lung cancer summit that brings together patients, clinicians, researchers, and industry to co-create solutions to disparities in screening, diagnosis, and treatment. I’ve seen firsthand how algorithms, technology, and clinical systems can either deepen disparities or finally start to close them. On your podcast, I share real stories from communities who’ve been overlooked in cancer care and break down complex ideas about AI, health equity, and oncology into clear, actionable insights. If your audience cares about cancer, technology, and what it actually takes to build a fair healthcare system, I help them understand both the promise and the pitfalls—and what we can do differently.

Ep. 74 of Conversations with Iris Podcast sees Iris sitting down with Michelle Choairy. Michelle is the creator and host of the Complex Kids, Simple Solutions podcast and co-host of The Mom Panel, where she blends expert guidance with heartfelt conversations to support parents raising neurodivergent, apraxic, and complex kids.

Her work is personal and purpose-driven. Michelle is the mother of Drake, a child with a rare genetic disorder and childhood apraxia of speech. Navigating medical systems, IEPs, insurance barriers, therapies, and state-funded programs showed her just how overwhelming and isolating this journey can be. After walking it alone for too long, she made a promise: no parent should ever have to navigate this world without a guide or a team.

That calling led her to national visibility, including speaking for ApraxiaKids.com, where she shares lived experience, advocacy tools, and hope-filled direction for families searching for clarity and community.
