My Interview with the Glow Up Podcast

Dr. Vivian Okirie is a resident physician at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston specializing in internal medicine. The combination of being a Morehouse School of Medicine graduate, being raised in Alabama, and still holding strong to her Nigerian roots has cultivated her passion for working in typically underserved populations with compassion and grace.  She learned from an early age that not all individuals are afforded the benefits that we all tend to take for granted.

A couple of months ago, I was approached by Lene, the founder of the Glow Up Podcast, about doing an interview. I’m not going to lie; I was shocked that someone would want to interview me. I’m thinking to myself, what makes me so special. But after our exchange of emails, I couldn’t wait to interact with her. It turns out that she was following my social media and actually paying attention to the things I post about. Overall, Lene felt I would be able to describe how I maneuvered into becoming a doctor (with The Lord’s guidance and blessings). If you haven’t been able to check it out, it’s included in the link above. Let me know how you feel about it.

FYI: Lene is amazing and made me feel like I was talking to a homegirl. I’ve been following her podcast, and you guys should too. The podcast can be found on Apple Podcasts and Soundcloud. Enjoy!!!
