Growing up as a daddy's girl, Martell Coke faced incredible obstacles, from a family of 10 siblings to surviving a tough childhood without amenities such as toothbrushes or clean drinking water. But through determination and a fierce passion for education, she defied the odds and became an accomplished dental hygienist. Join me in this powerful episode as we uncover Martell's extraordinary journey and the lessons we can all learn from her resilience.

Martell and I dive into her backstory, exploring her experiences in two vastly different school systems and how they shaped her view of her own intelligence. We discuss the challenges she faced in pursuing her dreams and the financial obstacles that threatened to derail her success. As we delve further into her story, we uncover the realities of starting a nonprofit, Brown Girl RDH and building a thriving dental practice. 

In this inspiring conversation, Martell shares valuable insights on navigating patient balances, working with insurance companies, and understanding the financial side of running a successful dental practice. We also tackle the importance of authenticity and overcoming imposter syndrome. Don't miss this captivating episode as we celebrate the power of determination in the face of adversity and the impact of Martell's mission to empower other hygienists to be the best version of themselves.
