Dr. Onye Nnorom (referred to as "Dr. O" for the show) presents the stories of successful Black and racialized professionals through conversations with those professionals about their lives. The focus is on how these individuals overcame the obstacles of overt and institutionalized racism to achieve their professional goals, while creating healthy and fulfilling lives for themselves.Dr. O says, "This is a podcast about overcoming. We are going to talk to racialized people about where they have been successful, despite racism. We are starting with the premise that racism exists in our Western culture, so if you want to know more about that fact there has been a lot written about it that you can consult. This podcast is like the "201 course" that asks the question, racism is a present and influential factor, now how do we find wellness while dealing with the micro-aggressions, bias and struggle? Join me as we explore stories of joy, triumph, becoming and overcoming as I interview artists, doctors, authors, and elders on their secrets to tackling race and achieving success, health and happiness."
