Uché Blackstock, MD

I died! On my last day at Essence Fest in New Orleans, our squad and a very patient Uber driver finally tracked down the billboard that people kept telling me they saw me on! (The billboard is digital so the pixelation looks weird in the video but normal IRL.)

The last few days have been nothing short of overwhelmingly beautiful. I’ve loved seeing and experiencing Black joy! 🤎

I’ve loved connecting IRL with people who know me from social media or from my media work. 🤎

I missed my babies, but these three days fed my soul.

Thank you, Meet The Press, for having me on today! Chuck Todd and I talked racism as a public health issue, the protests, racial health disparities and the lack of Black physicians.🙏🏿
