Hosts Dr. Antija Allen and Justin Stewart are talking lab coats, legacy and breaking all the ceilings with the brilliant Dr. Russell J. Ledet - co-founder and president of The 15 White Coats. In a journey from US Navy Veteran to Security Guard to a trailblazing, triple-boarded physician, Dr. Ledet is rewriting what success looks like in medicine.

In this episode, we talk about disrupting the status quo, why representation in the white coats matters for Black health outcomes, and how he's opening the doors for the next generation of Black excellence in medicine.

You'll leave this convo feeling inspired, empowered and reassured that "they not like us".
