Kwesi Blackman was born in Guyana and came to the United States at 5 years old. Watching Doctors perform their work on TLC made him dream of doing the same. That dream took a detour when he got left back during 11th grade for cutting school. He decided that he would go the military route instead. The same day he was set to begin basic training was the same day the planes hit the Twin Towers in NYC, 9/11. Kwesi would go on to become a field artillery sergeant in the United Sates Army 10th Mountain Division and Combat Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. After the military he would go on to continue his education and study medicine. He graduated with his MD from Howard University. He now practices in the same area he grew up in, Brooklyn! He gives back to the community through community workshops that educate the community about common diseases like Obesity, High Blood Pressure, and Diabetes. His goal now is to influence Black and Brown children to become doctors and give them an example of excellence. He does this through his company Complete Health Ventures that aims to inform, inspire, and mentor youth by helping them realize they can dream about becoming Physicians.
