Join Dr. Kim and me as she shares her powerful journey of overcoming adversity. From losing her identical twin in the womb, to experiencing the trauma of lost loved ones and bullying throughout school, Dr. Kim's story is one of resilience and determination. 🌟 Despite the challenges, she was raised by a strong single mother, and fulfilled her mother’s dream of becoming a doctor. That is when she discovered the stark difference in how she was treated with and without "the white coat." 🥼 The cumulative effect of trauma and stress led to burnout, inspiring Dr. Kim to now support other women of color by providing resources to help them avoid the same path. 💪🏽❤️
