In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking to Olamide Dada and Dr. Jade Okene, the founders of Melanin Medics a non-profit organisation striving to promote diversity within medicine. We discussed the origin story behind the Melanin Medics, the challenges of underrepresentation and what steps you can be taking to get your voice heard. As always I started by asking the question, why did you decide to study medicine.
