240 Recess Episode! A Book, A Podcast, A Routine, and A Splurge

In this recess episode, Kemi talks about what it means to stay yourself while becoming more visible. After her book release and tour, Kemi reflects on the pressure to stay on message without turning herself into a persona. She shares why it matters to be seen as a full person, not only as a physician, surgeon, scientist or even author. For Kemi, authenticity is not about being the same in every room. It is about knowing how to show up in different spaces without losing who you are. This episode is lighter, personal, and honest, with reminders about creativity, visibility, rest, and staying connected to who you are outside of your work. Recommendations  Book: Kin by Tayari Jones  Podcast: Lemme Fix It hosted by Franchesca Ramsey and De'Lon Grant Book: The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron  Journal & Supplies: Archer and Olive  Related Episodes Episode 89: Recess Recommendations!   Order Dr. Kemi’s Book: A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing   If you'd like to learn more foundational career navigation concepts for women of color in academic medicine and public health, sign up for our KD Coaching Foundations Series: www.kemidoll.com/foundations. Text Dr. Kemi directly.
