If you’re looking for a source of inspiration, look no further than Dr. Ade Osinubi. She joins your hosts today to discuss her impressive career, despite only recently starting her residency in emergency medicine. She discusses the non-profit she started in high school to help women experiencing obstetric fistula and what it was like doing this work at such a young age. They then discuss her documentary, Black Motherhood Through the Lens, and how she balanced creating it while also being in med school. She talks about her recent publication in the American Academy of Pediatrics on precocious puberty, and how race being listed as a risk factor is problematic and perpetuates adultification bias. She also praises the mentors she had along the way that made this all possible. Lastly, she shares her hopes for her film and offers advices to anyone in a similar position—we hope you find this episode as inspiring as we do.
