I fix broken hearts for a living 🖤. Love being a heart doc. 

Although blacks make up only 13% of the population, they are twice as likely to die from heart disease. Less than 3% of cardiologist are black. Precisely 4% of cardiologist are black women and 3% of cardiologist are black men. 

I chose this field for that reason specifically. To do the most good for the most people in the black community. It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly and am blessed to be able to do so. 

Happy Black History Month! 

Happy American Heart Month!
