I am a board-certified Obstetrician and gynecologist who obtained her medical degree from Wayne State School of Medicine. As a new attending in 2014, I found out that there is more to providing care, and then, I realized that I needed to understand the American healthcare delivery system better. So, I decided to obtain my Master’s degree in Public Health at Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health
in Boston to understand more about the various healthcare systems, and key stakeholders in healthcare decision making. My experience in Boston was truly life-altering. During that period, I met my business partner, Bria Gadsden, and we formed an empowerment and menstrual wellness organization called Love Your Menses, Inc. This organization focuses on menstrual equity, evidence-based information-sharing, empowerment, and mentorship. Our organization has now grown to become a global organization. After the formation of Love Your Menses, Inc. and obtaining my Master’s degree, I decided to expand Azumah Solutions LLC to also help to provide community education to especially girls and women. Healthy and Uplifted was then created as a platform that brings in expert leaders in various fields to have dialogues with our community as we tackle different problems affecting women, and importantly to find tangible solutions to these problems.
