Congratulations to this remarkable group of dentists in the graduating class of the ADA’s Institute for Diversity in Leadership Program (IDL)! Over the past year, we have laughed, learned, and shared countless meaningful moments together.

Our journey has centered on one essential question: “What does it take to be a leader?” While it may sound simple, the reality is that becoming an effective leader requires immeasurable dedication, growth, and reflection.

I am truly grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of this program, and I wish my colleagues the very best as they continue their leadership journeys. From here, the path only leads upward!

Great coffee after a 24 hour shift is always a good idea. A bonus if it’s at a Melanated owned coffee shop in the neighborhood. is a wonderful coffee shop with amazing food. If you are ever on the south side of Chicago check the out!

It is important that we encourage and uplift the next generation of Melanated Docs. Being a mentor and sharing our stories can encourage a future doc to believe that they can succeed as well.

Happy Saturday! Having a fellow sis in medicine who is a true friend is invaluable. Keisha and I have been on this journey of growth together since 2009. We have cried on each other’s shoulders too many times to count. Whenever the other was down or didn’t see a way. We dug into our faith and helped to pray the other through it. We also remind each other of how far we have come. We are still working on alot of goals and enjoy sharing our journey. ❤️

Hey guys! Take a listen to our latest episode. We chat with the wonderful Yvette of . Check out her bio to learn more…….. My name is Yvette. I am a Congolese-American that was bitten with the travel bug when I was 4 years old. My parents are hardworking immigrants who made it a priority to take me and my brother somewhere every summer. Whether it was the beach in Florida or visiting family in Paris, France, we started to appreciate the cultural knowledge we received. I moved to Canada when I was 24 and started working for a travel agency. From there, it just really opened my mind to all the places there are in this world to visit. I didn’t know how I was going to get there but I had a vision board of all the places I really wanted to go to. Since then, I’ve now traveled to 25 countries and I plan on visiting more. During my adventures, I’ve grown to love bringing people with me throughout my travel journey.
