By melanin for all.

Doors Unlocked by Melanin

We need each other.

Even as great strides are made, there is still much work to be done. Currently healthcare outcomes for Black Americans are worse than other races. While complex, one commonality in research finding is the lack of diversity of healthcare providers.

Our goals.

Strip the work from healthcare consumers and create a platform easily accessible to all with a comprehensive listing of Black healthcare providers and culturally sensitive healthcare providers. "Melanin Medical Specialties" free healthcare app: Apple and Google.

Bridge the STEM gap by increasing visibility. Through our YouTube channels and school outreach program. Yes: Science is an option.

Join us in the journey to create a future where we restore trust in the healthcare system, improve healthcare outcomes and bridge the STEM gap.

A tall order? Only when we work alone, but together we can make this an issue of yesterday.
