Uché Blackstock, LEGACY: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine

Zibby welcomes doctor and New York Times bestselling author Uché Blackstock to discuss LEGACY: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine, a searing indictment of our healthcare system, a generational family memoir, and an urgent call to action. Uché shares stories of her upbringing, her mother’s influence, and her experiences as a Black woman navigating the medical field. She and Zibby delve into the topics of culturally responsive care, racial health disparities, and the impact of historical decisions on the representation of Black physicians. Uché’s advocacy shines through as she offers actionable steps for improving healthcare equity and reflects on her journey in writing this book.
