The Color of Medicine™️ had the the opportunity to host a panel discussion with the @YoungDoctorsLeague at Whitney M. Young High Magnet School to discuss careers in STEM and medicine. We are so very proud to be connect with this organization and prepare these bright young scholars for their future careers. ”Alot of people have gone father then they thought they could because someone else thought they could.” Pictured here are the co-founders, Desiree Leach, Ph.D. and Brooke Williams, M.S., D.O. with Whitney M, Young scholars.

The Color of Medicine board members' Alex Card, Desiree Leach, and Brooke Williams hosted a panel discussion at Phoenix Military Academy on February 27th, 2019 to discuss their careers in medicine and the importance of diversity and inclusion.
The Color of Medicine partnered with Young Ladies At All Times Mentorship Program (YLAAT) on March 25th, 2019 to discuss women's health. The purpose of YLAAT is to mentor young ladies (ages 10-15) to appreciate themselves by taking care of their bodies, minds, and spirits. The event was hosted by Dr. Fenwa Millhouse who is a Urologist in the Chicagoland area, specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. During her visit, Dr. Millhouse allowed the girls to ask questions anonymously on topics regarding sex and personal hygiene.
Early childhood education is paramount in developing early and lifelong scholars. Second grader, Harper Brailsford, is a prime example of what quality early childhood education programs, teachers, and meaningful experiences can do to prepare future scholars for their future endeavors. Harper wrote an elaborate essay on her aspiration of becoming a Scientist. Her writing won her the opportunity to have lunch with her principal and the opportunity to come and shadow me in my lab. Congratulations Harper Brailsford!
The Color of Medicine launched its first project of its classroom series: Everyday Science Fun with Daniel S. Wentworth Elementary’s STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) night! We facilitated a science experiment where the students created lava lamps. During the experiment we lectured the students on the properties of oil and water, as well as acids and bases.
