Meet Dr. Candace White

All I’m trying to say is, I thank you.💯 To everyone who prayed for me, offered an encouraging word, or believed in me as I pursued a career in medicine, I am deeply grateful. And to those who didn’t, that’s okay too. We must remember that no one can truly stand in our way; often, it’s ourselves who need to clear the path and let God lead.🙏🏾 Congratulations to all the Top Doctors recognized for 2024! It was incredibly inspiring to be in the room with some of Atlanta’s best. Keep up the amazing work! #ThankYou #TopDoctors2024 #AtlantaTopDoctors2024 #inspirational #HumblyBlessed

He’s the Real MVP ✨ Significant others who support your dreams, rather than hinder them, are invaluable. He was never intimidated by my success but celebrated it. And he continues to push me forward. #RealMVP #SupportivePartner #DreamChaser #LoveAndSupport #UnwaveringFaith #PowerCouple #GratefulHeart #TogetherWeRise #ChaseYourDreams #Inspiration #StrongFoundation #MyDay1 #RideOrDie

Just a girl from Gainesville, FL, striving to make a difference through advocating, educating, and empowering. I’m honored to be named a Top Doctor 2024 by Atlanta Magazine. This recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion I pour into my practice every day. From the age of 5, I dreamed of making a meaningful impact on people’s lives. I believe everyone, regardless of background, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or political affiliation, deserves the highest quality care. This honor reminds me that treating people with dignity, respect, and excellence truly matters. Thank you to my family, friends, colleagues, and patients for your unwavering support and trust. Together, we are making a difference, one patient at a time. To all the dreamers out there, remember that no matter where you come from, you have the power to make a difference. Keep striving, keep believing, and keep pushing forward. The best is yet to come! #TopDoctor2024 #AdvocateEducateEmpower #QualityCareForAll #DreamBig #GainesvillePride #KeepPushingForward

He Does It Again…🙏🏾 Guess who’s being recognized as Top Doctor 2024 by Atlanta Magazine? Yours truly. 😊 I guess you could say, this has become one of my equivalents to a Grammy or an Oscar lol! It’s truly a blessing to know that my work and the care I provide are noted. I don’t do what I do for the accolades, but I’ve learned to accept these recognitions with humility and grace. It’s not easy for me to be on the receiving end; I’m usually the one giving. But today, I will embrace it. I believe wholeheartedly that when you put in the effort to treat people well, strive for excellence, and give your best in all you do, you will see positive results. The energy we put out into the universe often returns to us in kind. I didnt have to shrink; or change. My journey in primary care, particularly advocating for Black and Brown populations who experience racial disparities and inequalities, has shown me that quality care is not always a given, especially for the underserved. As long as I am here and have breath in my body, I will strive to make patients feel better by treating them like the beautiful human beings they are, providing quality care, partnering , listening, and advocating for them. To anyone out there with a dream in their heart or a goal they’re striving to achieve, know that if you put your best foot forward and pursue it with genuine heart and faith, it shall come to pass. Don’t be discouraged by what others say you can or cannot do. You can do all things through God. It may not be easy, but it was never intended to be. For whom much is given, much is required. So keep going. If you fall, get up, dust yourself off, and try again. The best is yet to come.✨ 💯 #HeDoesItAgain #4yearsStraight #TopDoctors2024 #AtlantaTopDoctor #QualityPatientCare #HumblyBlessed

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes, the phone calls and the text messages…all so thoughtful! As I reflect on the years gone by, I realize how much I’ve grown. Prayerfully, I feel even better than I did at 21. The things that seemed so important back then don’t hold the same weight now. I find true solace in the simple things: the laughter of loved ones, the warmth of family gatherings, and the quiet moments of reflection. My family is my source of strength and the loves of my life. Every day with them is a blessing, and I cherish these moments more than anything. To all of my fellow July babies…here’s to us celebrating the beauty of life, the joy of family, and the wisdom that comes with age. 🌟💖 #CancerSeason #BirthdayBlessings #ReflectAndGrow #FamilyFirst #SimpleJoys #GratefulHeart #BlessedBeyondMeasure #CherishEveryMoment

It’s my birthday suit! Cheers to another year of celebrating life, the essence of being a woman and living out loud! And a special thank you goes to my bestie @therealaprilraquelmusic photography for helping to make my birthday extra special. I love you to the moon and back! 🥰 **I do not own the rights to this music** #Birthdaysuit #CelebrateLife #LoveEveryOunceofYou #FlawsAndAll

Every year, I celebrate my birthday with a tradition: a bathing suit photo shoot to capture the evolution of how my body has changed over the years. From the hips and curves I inherited post-babies, I’ve embraced every ounce of me. And I forewarn you…if I make it to 90 (God willing), you can bet my AI caretaker that I’m still gonna be posing and posting! 📸😆 Here’s to another year of celebrating life, the essence of being a woman and living out loud! And a special thank you goes to my bestie @therealaprilraquelmusic photography for helping to make my birthday extra special. I love you to the moon and back! 🥰 #Birthdaysuit #CelebrateLife #LoveEveryOunceofYou #FlawsAndAll

It’s the essence of a woman for me…✨ #Birthdaygirlloading #ShesComingThrough

Just me and you…🖤 #happyanniversary #LoveWins

As my birthday approaches in 2 days, I’m reminded of the importance of investing in myself. Sweating it out in my workout clothes, I’m committed to feeling and looking my best as I age. Remember, taking care of your body is an act of self-love that pays lifelong dividends. Stay committed, stay strong! #InvestInYou #HealthyAging #BirthdayMotivation #SelfCare #CommitmentToFitness

It’s our anniversary! ✨Today, we are celebrating love and commitment. I’ve known him since middle school, and we became best friends over 25+ years ago. In this moment of transparency, I want it to be known that when I prayed for God to send me a God-fearing man who would honor and uplift his wife and family, I was also clear about wanting that man to love me for who I am. I prayed for someone who wouldn’t try to change me, silence my voice, control me, come between family, be jealous of me and my relationships, be insecure or try to compete with me. I’ve seen all of that before and wanted no part of it. 🙏🏾 So I say, thank you, Lord, for answering my prayers and giving me the strength to be patient and wait on you. You knew it would take a special man to deal with ALL of me. Thank you to my amazing husband for seeing me and loving me just the way I am, flaws and all. Here’s to us, to our journey, and to many more years of love and happiness.🎊🙏🏾 #HappyAnniversary #Anniversary #celebratinglove #Joy #Faithfulness #WaitOnHim #Blacklove #blackbride #Blackbride1998 #HisTimingIsPerfect #AndWeAreImperfectlyPerfectTogether

Our love is like a black and white photo—classic, timeless, and beautifully simple. In a world full of color and chaos, we find our peace and clarity in each other. Every moment we share is like a cherished snapshot. Happy Anniversary to us!🙏🏾😊 #ClassicLove #TimelessBond #AnniversaryLove #ForeverUs #EnduringLove #blacklove #blackbride #blackbride1998

He asked…I delivered. 🖤 #HowYouGotHimIsHowYouKeepHim #AnniversaryLoading

It’s official – cancer season is here! 🎂🙌🏾✨ And just like that... my birthday is coming up in 11 days, if God willing. As I reflect on the years gone by, I realize how much I’ve grown. Prayerfully, I feel even better than I did at 21. The things that seemed so important back then don’t hold the same weight now. I find true solace in the simple things: the laughter of loved ones, the warmth of family gatherings, and the quiet moments of reflection. My family is my source of strength and the loves of my life. Every day with them is a blessing, and I cherish these moments more than anything.

As the Essence Festival @essencefest approaches, I just had to take a trip down memory lane. This day, four years ago, I was recognized by ESSENCE magazine @essence as an Essential Hero and was the proud recipient of the Essence Amazing Grace Award 2020! At that time, I was a pregnant physician in my third trimester, deeply concerned about putting our unborn child at risk during a global pandemic. It was truly one of the scariest times of my life... But God! I channeled my fear into faith and continued to work and serve patients as long as I could. That is what I took an Oath to do. Never did I imagine I would be recognized by one of my favorite childhood magazines for doing something I feel called to do. This journey in medicine has been a delightful ride, continually surpassing some of my wildest dreams. Never put limits on a limitless God, and I am forever grateful to the ride-or-die twins, Delacia Unique Tolbert @dladyphotography and Latracia Tolbert Brite @livingabritelife , who nominated me. 😊🤗😊 And huge shout out goes to my sis Melissa Mitchell @abeillecreations who ensured that might garments radiated bright, like my spirit. ✨ #EssenceMagazine #AmazingGraceAward #HaveFaith #ProudMoments #EssenceGirl #PrimaryCarePhysician #EssentialHero #ExcellenceWithCaring #BlackFemalePhysician #FrontLineWorker #Supported #Loved #Respected #Appreciated #AnotherDreamRealized

From how it went (dropping the kids off in Florida with the grands) to how it’s going! 😊 These kiddos have been having an absolute blast with their cousins, uncles, and Granny. This morning, they woke up bright and early to shuck corn – I had to correct them when they said they were peeling it! 😆 Solomon, ever the protective big brother, rode with his sister on the back of the horse while horse back riding. How granny keeps up with all of her grands…we will never know. She deserves an award 🏆🥇– she is simply amazing.🤩 There’s something truly special about kids spending time with their elders. They learn about their history and traditions, gaining insight into who they are and where they come from. These moments are precious and irreplaceable, and they will cherish these memories for the rest of their lives. We are so grateful for the lessons being learned: working for what we eat, valuing family above all, and being open to exploring new experiences. Needless to say, so far, so good! 🙏🏾 #FamilyFun #GratefulHeart #NewExperiences #FamilyFirst #CherishTheMoments #SummerFun #ItTakesAVillage #Grandparentsarethebest❤️

Family…the sunshine of my life. 🌞✨ As we age, so do our parents. That’s why we make a conscious effort to spend as much time as we can with them. We understand that life is fleeting, and I’m sure many of us feel it. The loss of loved ones seems to happen more often and closer to home. We’ve lost some wonderful people, reminding us of the importance of living in the moment. On our annual family vacation this year, we coordinated a family photo, all wearing shades of pink. Lord knows it was hot, but we persevered because we were capturing memories with the matriarchs of our family, spanning three generations. It’s these moments of togetherness that truly matter. Family will always be first for me. Cherish the moments and live in them fully. Make memories that last a lifetime and focus on the here and now. 🌸 🙏🏾 #FamilyFirst #CherishTheMoment #LiveInTheNow #AnnualFamilyVacation #prayerfullynotourlast

Family…that is what I hold on to 🙏🏾 Being surrounded by loved ones and family is what truly matters in the end. As we navigate life with aging parents and cope with the constant loss of cherished ones, we begin to understand just how temporary our time on this earth is. Capturing moments, living fully in them, and protecting our joy and peace of mind becomes vital. If you want to know what fuels my spirit, it’s my beautiful family. I am so grateful we were able to make our annual family vacation happen, and I pray it won’t be our last. These moments are precious beyond words. 🙏🏾 #FamilyFirst #CherishEveryMoment #GratefulHeart #HoldOntoYourFamily

Hello fam, it’s your lifestyle doc, Dr. Candace White ✨ I just had to drop in with a little reminder! If you hadn’t noticed, I post a lot about family and finding balance in our daily lives—because that’s an area I needed to improve myself. Today, I returned from a much-needed long vacation, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. We must make efforts to prioritize “me time,” self-care, and vacation. I feel rested, rejuvenated, and more focused than I did before I left. 🙏🏾✨ So, check in with me😃—who has planned their self-care days, taken days off just to rest, or booked their vacations, are on vacation or have already returned? This will surely help us de-stress and avoid burnout. Making your health a priority is mandatory. Don’t let the day-to-day hustle and bustle get in the way. Take care of yourselves, and remember, your well-being matters! #SelfCare #Balance #FamilyFirst #PreventBurnout #VacationTime #HealthyLiving #PrioritizeYou

Our babies are off for summer…#ParentsGoneWild 👨🏾👨🏾😆🚗💨 At first, I thought, “What am I going to do with my two precious babies gone, visiting their grandparents for the summer?” And then I remembered the spa date I’ve postponed three times, the date night that didn’t happen due to a late night of work and an ear infection, and the daily drop-offs and pick-ups that are now on pause. Suddenly, I realized...child, you better take this time to reflect, relax, and understand that these precious moments with their grandparents are priceless. We’ve lost so many wonderful people, and these babies need to soak up some history, tradition, and love from the matriarchs of their family. Then my husband and I fled to the car like we were escaping from Alcatraz! 🚗💨 😆 I don’t know if we’ll handle how quiet it will be, and we’ll miss the morning greetings with hugs and prayers...but I think we’ll survive. 💆🏾‍♀️👨🏾🥂 #WontHedoit #MomAndDadTime #SummerWithGrandparents #SpaDay #DateNight #PeaceAndQuiet #FamilyLove #GrandparentLove #MakingMemories #ParentsGoneWild

Before the day ends, I just had to take a moment to celebrate my incredible husband, the father of our wonderful children. He is our King👑 , and he treats me like his royal queen. Today, I was filled with joy as I watched him at the beach, then at the pool, where he became the coach and cheerleader for the kids at the resort. He led them in games and friendly competitions with such enthusiasm and care. I am deeply grateful for the love he pours into our family and how he shows up consistently, never wavering in his commitment. The sacrifices he makes do not go unnoticed. He could easily choose a different path, but he remains a constant, loving force in our lives. I pray that God continues to bless him and all fathers, keeping them healthy, protected, and safe. May they always have the strength and wisdom to lead their families with love and grace. Happy Father’s Day to our King, With all our love, your Queen, Prince, and Princess. 👑 #HappyFathersDayBaby #Ourking #MyHusbandIsAmazing #TrulyBlessed

Before the clock strikes midnight, and after a beautiful day immersed in family on our vacation… I just had to take a moment to celebrate my incredible husband, the father of our wonderful children. Happy Father’s Day to our King, With all our love, your Queen, Prince, and Princess. 👑🥰😍 #OurKing #HappyFathersDayBaby #MyHusbandIsAmazing #TrulyBlessed #FamilyVacation #FamilyLove

I have said time and time again, that I am who I am because of the love and support of my parents and especially my fathers love. Because of my father, I know what a real man looks like and how he should love his wife and children. He has been there at every important moment & milestone in our life... I am proud to make him proud. And more importantly, I am proud to call him my daddy!!! I love you daddy!! #FathersDay #HonoringFathersLove #GuidingLight #HappyFathersDay #MyFirstLove #BigPoppa #LoverOfLifeAndService

When choosing your healthcare provider, you should feel seen, heard, and supported. What I love the most about my job is caring for families, advocating for patients, and empowering them with information that helps them prevent and fight off illnesses. If the shoe doesn’t fit, it’s time to get a new pair. I feel honored that God created me for this. 5 Tips to Select Your Best Fit Primary Care Physician Check Credentials and Experience: Ensure your primary care physician is board-certified and has the necessary experience, especially in areas relevant to your health needs. Consider Communication Style: Choose a physician who listens to you, answers your questions clearly, and makes you feel comfortable discussing your concerns. Look for Accessibility: Make sure the doctor’s office location, hours, and availability fit your schedule and that they offer easy ways to communicate, like through a patient portal and telemedicine visit options. Seek Recommendations: Ask family, friends, and other healthcare professionals for recommendations. Patient reviews and testimonials can also provide valuable insights. Trust Your Instincts: Ultimately, trust your gut feeling. If you feel a strong connection and trust in the physician’s ability to care for you, that’s a good sign you’ve found the right fit. Remember, your primary care physician should be a trusted partner in your health journey. Don’t settle for anything less. #YourFavoritePCP #TheSoulInMedicine #YourHealthMatters #YouMatter #PartnerWithYourDoctor #Advocate #Educate #Empower

Embracing Transparency: A Journey Through Physician Burnout In the whirlwind of a demanding career, I found myself caught in the eye of a storm called burnout. The relentless rise of my patient panel and the ever-mounting administrative burden left me feeling drained, my time slipping away like sand through my fingers. It was in the midst of this chaos that I experienced my first burn in 2023. Reflecting back, I realized how my relentless pursuit of professional success had overshadowed the other facets of life. But life has a way of gently nudging us towards what truly matters. For me, it was the realization that there was more to life than just ambitious goals and career milestones. It was about finding joy in the simple moments, the laughter shared with loved ones, and the fulfillment of nurturing dreams beyond the confines of the workplace. I discovered that combating physician burnout required a holistic approach. It wasn’t just about taking time off for vacation but taking more days off for investing in self-care and finding solace in activities that nourish the soul. I began prioritizing quality time with my family more consistently, nurturing hobbies that brought me joy (I.e gym dates, audio books, juicing, trying new plant based recipes, golfing with my 2 kings) etc…and allowing myself to unplug from the demands of the world. One of the most transformative experiences has been involving my family in gardening. Together, we’ve planted flower beds, tended to fruit trees, and rejuvenated our lawn. Through the dirt and sweat, we’ve found a connection to the earth and to each other. Watching our projects grow and evolve has been a testament to the power of shared experiences and the beauty of creation. In the midst of life’s chaos, it’s essential to carve out moments of stillness and joy. Remember, self-care isn’t selfish—it’s a necessary investment in our well-being. So, take the time to nurture your passions, cultivate meaningful connections, and embrace the beauty of life’s simple pleasures. Love, Dr. White, Your Lifestyle Doc. #Physicianburnout #itisreal #unplug #definehealthyboundaries

Solomon, the youngest in his class, started grade school at 4 years old, and I couldn’t help but question if he was truly ready. Yet, as the journey unfolded, it became clear – he was more than prepared. Sometimes, we just need to trust in God’s guidance and give space for growth. And oh, how beautifully he’s blossomed! 🌱✨ #TrustTheJourney #GodsGuidance #ProudParent #heisbetterthangood

Reflecting on this journey, I used to question if you were prepared, being a year younger than your peers. Yet, your heart is vast, and your determination boundless. Now, here we stand – you, achieving the highest honors, mastering dual language, and radiating light in all you do! Keep shining bright, Solomon. We appreciate your effort and will to succeed. Your resilience and hard work inspire us all. ✨ #ProudParent #AchievementUnlocked #BrightFuture

I am who I am because of you. 🥰 Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing mom. 🥰 #HappyMothersDay💞

As a mother, one of the challenges for me is wondering if I’m doing enough at times. It’s a true balancing act…staying true to oneself, and nurturing the little ones. What’s kept me? God’s guidance and protecting my energy. Despite the hiccups and missteps, I strive to keep my cup full. I listen to my body’s cues and my children’s emotions, understanding that sometimes a tantrum means they just need me home before 8. Watching Onar dance at her recital today reminded me of the essence of motherhood. Tomorrow, it’s Solomon’s football game bright and early. For me, motherhood isn’t about putting our dreams on hold but fostering theirs, and not forgetting who you are. (Side note: if you have forgotten who you are…I pray that you are restored with inner vision and will be given the strength to rise up! You aren’t alone 🙏🏾Don’t forget to give yourself Grace, your balance helps provide theirs. Ask me how I know?.…covering anyone who needed to hear that in prayer.)🙏🏾 To all the mothers out there celebrating Mother’s Day—whether you’re a birth mom, adoptive mom, auntie, or foster mom—remember to take time for yourself. There is more that one approach and way to accomplish the same goals. Taking it one day at a time is fine too. And to those who have lost their mothers, know their memory lives on and in you. 🕊️ Happy Mother’s Day! I see you momma, and you are amazing!🙏🏾 #MotherhoodJourney #UnselfishLove #FiguringitOut #OneDayayATime #HappyMothersDay #GiveYourselfGrace

It’s showtime!! Introducing…Onar!!!! 🥰 Let’s Go @triple7dancestudio_ 🩰 #DanceMom #Ballet #Tap #LateNightPractices #WorthIt #HappyMothersDayWeekend

Today was Onar’s dance recital, but before we get to the grand finale, let’s take a trip down memory lane. This journey started at 3 years old for her and age 5 for me. Back then, I didn’t fully grasp the sacrifices my parents made for me to pursue my passions until I became a parent myself. Now, as an adult with my own little dancer, it’s crystal clear. I owe my right-brained creativity to those late-night practices and recitals. Onar never complained. I’ve explained to her that becoming a skilled dancer requires discipline, technique, and consistency. It’s been a long season, but a good one nonetheless. Here’s to the performers, the parents, and the never-ending dance of life! 💃🕺 #DanceMom #LateNightPractices #WorthIt #HappyMothersDayWeekend

Yesterday, at our son’s field trip, Solomon and his friends challenged me to a race. Are they kidding me? For those who don’t know, being Miss Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University wasn’t my only claim to fame—I earned a full track scholarship to @famu_1887, that’s what got me there. I anchored the mile relay, competed in the 400m dash, and served as team captain and was athlete of the year 1998-99. So, needless to say, this 40+ female left them in the dust. 😆 #TrackStarMom #NeverTooOld #FieldTripFun

After years of waiting and chasing dreams, I finally embraced motherhood, realizing it was the missing piece to my puzzle. Balancing career ambitions with motherhood is tough, but the love for my children outweighs any challenge. Yesterday, I chose to prioritize them over everything else. I declined two speaking engagements to have a Control + ALT + Delete day—unapologetically. It was a day dedicated to honoring my promise to my children: to move mountains for them, protect them, and love them unconditionally on their special days. My daughter had a mother daughter tea, and my son had a field trip. A time was had! Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the incredible moms out there! 💖 #MotherhoodJourney #UnconditionalLove #FamilyFirst #Priorities #MothersDayWeekend

Today was a special day—a “control + ALT + Delete Day,” if you will. I made a promise to myself before my children were born that I would always prioritize them, no matter what. So, when Onar had her Mother-Daughter tea at school and Solomon had a field trip at the park, I knew I couldn’t miss either moment. Donning my metaphorical cape, I managed to split my time between both events, soaking in every precious moment with my kids. It’s moments like these that remind me of the importance of slowing down and cherishing the simple joys of life. Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the incredible moms out there! 💖 #FamilyFirst #UnpluggedLife #CherishEveryMoment #MotherhoodJourney #QualityTime #Priorities #happymothersdayweekend

🌱 From Planting Dry Roots to Success: Our Family Fruit Garden Journey 🌱 Creating a fruit garden with my children has been quite the adventure. We started with a patch of soil, dry roots and a dream, wanting to get our hands dirty and grow our own fruit, since we eat it daily. We carefully planted the roots, made sure the soil was right, and committed to tending our little garden. But, boy, did we underestimate the challenges ahead! The first year, all we got was one lonely strawberry. Just one! Talk about discouraging. But giving up was never an option. We rolled up our sleeves, cleaned out the overgrown plants, improved the soil, pulled weeds, and kept watch for any signs of fungus. We worked together as a family, knowing that good things take time and effort. This spring, all that patience and hard work paid off. Suddenly, our garden burst into life, and we had a bounty of strawberries and blackberries! It was the sweetest reward, and not just because of the fruit. It was the lesson we learned: everything worthwhile takes effort, and quitting isn’t an option. Through this process, my children and I have learned the power of persistence, the joy of teamwork, and the beauty of seeing a project through to the end. We are proud gardeners, but most importantly, we are a family that sticks together and finds solutions. Here’s to the fruits of our labor and the reminder that with patience and hard work, anything is possible. 🍓🌿 #ProudGardeners #FamilyTeamwork #PatiencePaysOff #jacksongarden #slowandsteady

What a busy weekend! I’m still trying to recover lol!The kids and I had a blast supporting their dad and other NFL Alumni. They partnered with the Black Men at Google Network (BGN) and hosted the 1st annual “Iron Sharpens Iron” event. This was more than just a workshop; it was a full-on experience. BGN teamed up with the NFL Alumni @nflalumnigeorgia (Georgia Chapter) and former NFL players for a mental health fitness workshop, all about talking about feelings and sharing experiences. The weather was perfect for playing flag football in the park in downtown Atlanta, and let me tell you, my husband was beyond thrilled to be the quarterback! 😆😆 I mean, he was taking it so seriously, you’d think he was calling plays in the Super Bowl. And guess what? He led his team to victory! He was absolutely on fire. 🔥 But honestly, the biggest win wasn’t on the field—it was watching these men cheer each other on, pray together, and open up about their struggles and victories. At that point, the ladies and kids got the boot, but hey, we didn’t mind. In a world where you sometimes see negative headlines about athletes or Black men, these guys are setting a new standard. They are professionals, leaders, fathers, husbands (and some single, just saying 😉), and pillars in their communities. They’re showing that being vulnerable and talking about mental health isn’t just for women—it’s for everyone. A massive shout-out to the Black Google Network for investing in Black and brown men of color. Keep leading the way! 🥰 #ironsharpensiron #Blackmenleading #BlackGoogleNetwork #BGN #NFLAlumni #GeorgiaChapter #FLAGFootball #MentalHealthWorkshop #Wellness #HealthIsWealth

Solomon was busting moves on the field yesterday @nflflag . I had to replay his play of the day! 😍 #BustingMoves #ProudParents #FootballMom #RisingStar #FutureChampion #NFLFlagFootball

🏈🔥 Small but mighty, Solomon is kicking off spring football with a bang! He’s already making plays! Let’s go, Solomon! We’re cheering you on all the way! 👊🏾💪🏾🎉 #ProudParents #FootballMom #RisingStar #FutureChampion

🌟✨ Y’all…your once shy 6 y.o. nephew just won the talent show😮!✨ From not wanting to perform in front of people to absolutely owning the stage, Solomon kicked off his own show…and danced so hard, until he kicked off a shoe 😂. And…had the nerve to WIN the talent show today! 🎉🕺🏾 Seeing him dance with such confidence and joy was a proud parent moment. By encouraging him to push through his fears, he transformed into a star performer—natural and full of energy! We are beyond proud of you, Solomon! 🥰 Get ready world, we might just have to take this show on the road! 😉🎶 #ProudParents #michaeljackson #billiejean #MJKingofpop #TalentShowChampion #6yearsold #DancingStar #SolomonShines #frobabies

🌟✨Today we are celebrating the 3rd Anniversary of Onar and I’s book…Born Into A Pandemic: A Mother’s Precious Gift! 📚🎉 Three years ago, on April 10, 2021, we launched this heartfelt book, coinciding with Onar’s 1st birthday. 🎂📖. Link to the book is in my bio!☺️ I worked everyday as a pregnant physician and even did my gender reveal with co-workers and staff. They knew the gender before my own husband lol! I kept going, up until March 11, 2020, the day after the World Health Organization declared that we were in a Global pandemic due to COVID-19. Due to some patients being asymptomatic with COVID at the time of being seen, I had 3 unknown exposures. This was well before mask were mandated. Glory be to God, Onar and I remained safe.🙏🏾 Thank you to everyone who have supported and continues to support this passion project. Your unwavering encouragement has helped us share not just our story, but the stories of countless women who welcomed babies during an unprecedented time. 🌈💕 Today, as we reflect on the journey of motherhood and resilience, let’s celebrate the strength, courage, and love that unite us all. 🤱🏽💖 Together, we’re rewriting history and leaving a legacy of hope and empowerment for generations to come. 🌟✨ #BornIntoAPandemic #AMothersPreciousGift #CelebratingResilience #3yearanniversary

🎉🎂 Happy 4th Birthday to our precious Onar and 3rd year Anniversary of our book, Born into a Pandemic, A Mother’s Precious Gift! 🎈🎁 It feels like yesterday, working as a pregnant physician, caring for patients at the height of the pandemic. It was scary…but God kept us safe. Since you came into our lives, you have filled our days with endless joy and love. As you continue to grow before our eyes, I’m reminded of the incredible blessing you are. 💖 Every moment with you is a gift, and I promise to cherish each one, staying present and savoring every precious milestone as you journey through your fourth year. 🌟 May your day be filled with laughter, love, and all the magic that comes with being four years old! 🥳🎉 #ourPandemicbaby #BornIntoAPandemic #Birthdaygirl #OnarTurns4

Happy 4th Birthday to our princess… ONAR!!!!✨🎂🥳🎉 🎈✨ Sometimes, keeping it simple is the most magical way to celebrate! ✨🎈 During Onar & Solomon’s spring break with their grandparents and cousins in Florida, we wanted to make her birthday weekend extra special. 💕 With a busy week ahead and them being out of state, we decided to ditch the elaborate party plans and opt for something simpler. And boy, did we make the right choice! We traded electronics and a fancy venue for outdoor fun and games, and it was an absolute blast. From playing with bubbles to reviving classic childhood games like duck duck goose, mother may I, and red light-green light, we laughed, raced, and enjoyed each other’s company to the fullest. 🌟 It was a sweet reminder of the joy found in simplicity, where the only ingredients needed for a memorable day were laughter, love, and togetherness. As Onar hugged me tight and whispered, “Mommie, you and daddy did good,” my heart swelled with gratitude. 💖 That moment, filled with love and appreciation, was worth more than any fancy cake or extravagant party. There was never a need to stress. And clearly, I needed this humble reminder. Here’s to the joys of family fun and celebrating life’s precious moments, one simple joy at a time. 🥳🎉 P.s. I will make no promises for next year lol!😆 #SimpleJoys #FamilyFun l#CherishedMoments

🏌️‍♂️⛳️ What an incredible weekend at the Leonard George & Willie Jackson Sr. Endowment Golf Tournament! 🏌️‍♂️⛳️ Having the grandchildren present was a highlight of the event. 💙🧡 Seeing them learn about their grandfathers’ legacy, spend quality time with family, and even golf alongside them was truly priceless. These are the moments that money simply cannot buy. This weekend was a celebration of two remarkable men, Willie Jackson Sr. and Leonard George, who paved the way for countless others by being the first black men to play football for the University of Florida. 🐊 Jackson’s legacy lives on through the #22, worn proudly by Willie Jackson Sr. during his college years and carried forward by Willie Jackson Jr., Terry Jackson, and now our nephew, Kahliel Jackson. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the endowment, providing additional funding for football scholarships and ensuring that the legacy of these barrier breakers continues to inspire future generations. 🌟 #BarrierBreakers #GatorGreat #JacksonLegacy #UFFootball #FamilyofStars #Endowment #22 #BornIntoGreatness #AProudJackson

This weekend marked another momentous occasion as we celebrated my father-in-law Willie Jackson Sr., and Leonard George. They are honored through an endowment funded by former players, alumni and community sponsors. This provides additional funding for football scholarships. Jackson and George were the 1st black men to play football on the University of Florida’s football team. This paved the way for countless other men of color to follow. Willie Jackson Sr. wore the #22 while in college. The legacy of #22 lived on through my brother-in-law, Willie Jackson Jr., husband, Terry Jackson and currently our nephew, Kahliel Jackson. The weekend of events started off with a pairing mixer and ends with a celebrity golf tournament at the Mark Bostick Golf course. #BarrierBreakers #GatorGreat #WillieJacksonSr #LeonardGeorge #JacksonLegacy #TheFirst #UFFootball #FamilyofStars #Endowment #22 #FamilyAffair #BornIntoGreatness #AProudJackson

Reflecting on this past weekend brings me to a profound full circle moment. Saturday marked National Doctors Day, and Sunday closed out Women’s History Month. I had the honor of returning to my hometown of Gainesville, FL, as the keynote speaker for the 2nd annual Renascence Beautillion-Cotillion Ball. As the first female physician in my family, I stand on the shoulders of giants, propelled by the legacy of those who came before me. It was a moment of immense pride to share my journey and pour into the young scholars, just as I was once eager to learn and gain insight. I’m deeply grateful to 100 Black Men of Greater Florida GNV, Inc. and the founder and President of Wishful Thinking, Inc., Dr.Tarcha Folston Rentz, for her unwavering support and pivotal role in inviting me back home. It was so good to so many childhood mentors, family and friends. In a month dedicated to telling HERSTORY and on a day when doctors are celebrated, I’m humbled by the ways in which God continues to use me. Here’s to celebrating the power of education, perseverance, and the profound impact we can all make in the lives of others. 🙏🏾✨ #FullCircle #Empowerment #Legacy #Education #Impact”

Step out with confidence, and let your stride speak volumes! And don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do…do it anyway!💃🏾✨ #ConfidenceIsKey #OwnIt #DoItAnyway

My life changed the moment I became a mother to our two little blessings. And today took me back…so I had to share. Today we visited my husband’s home church, Greater Bethel A.M.E. My mother-in-law, was insistent that they participate on the Easter program since we would be in town. With only 2 days to prep…I began to reflect on my childhood. Those Christmas and Easter speeches were everything back then! They helped me find my voice and build confidence. Who else can relate? So, with a big smile, I asked our kids if they wanted to give it a shot…and they agreed. So, we kept it simple and focused on confidence building and projecting their voice. Our daughter got a case of stage fright the moment she stepped up. She forgot to introduce herself and began to second guess her decision. The moment my mother-in-law asked if she wanted her mother to help her, she began to sing…“Jesus Loves Me.” She found her courage. She sang above a whisper, but when she heard the congregation join in with her, she felt supported. She began to sing a little louder and completed her verse. We were so proud. Now Solomon on the other hand surprised me. He only had 1 line to say, but you couldn’t tell me by the way he introduced himself that he wasn’t about to do a monologue😆. So thank you Granny (mother-in-law) and Greater Bethel AME for pouring into your children, and for keeping these traditions alive. Our babies grew a little taller and a bit bolder today because of you. Keep up the great works. 🙏🏾 #Littleblessings #Faith #Grateful #Easterspeeches #HappyEaster #childrensminisitry

Happy Resurrection Sunday from our family to yours!🐇💗🐣 #HeIsRisen #HappyEasterSunday #familyiseverything #IloveUs

🌟30 new patients later…😊🌟 This weekend, I had the joy of participating in the Women’s Health Symposium hosted by the @smlacdst Stone Mountain Lithonia Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. With over 150 registrants, the event was a testament to the power of sisterhood and community. The warmth of the welcome and the excellence of the execution left a lasting impression, and I found myself inspired to take action. Despite a full panel of patients, I made the decision to accept 30 new patients on the spot, recognizing the urgent need for primary care providers in our community. 🏥♥️ When the worlds of service and medicine collide, that’s where I thrive—driven by purpose, fueled by passion, and committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

🌟 Yesterday was “Bring a Parent to School” day, but why settle for one when you can have two? 🌟 My husband and I waited patiently for the precious gifts of parenthood, and when our blessings arrived, we embraced the journey with open hearts and eager spirits. Sure, we don’t have all the answers, and there are moments when the balancing act between parenthood and career feels like a highwire act without a safety net. But through it all, one thing remains crystal clear: our children come first. Even on the busiest days, when work demands seem never-ending and exhaustion threatens to take over, we make it a priority to be there for our kids. Whether it’s rescheduling a meeting, skipping lunch to catch a school event, or simply being present in their lives, our children feel our unwavering support and love. Praying this remains unchanged. 🙏🏾 So today, Solomon, know that we are your biggest fans, cheering you on from the sidelines and celebrating every milestone, big or small. #ParentingTeam #FamilyFirst #BiggestFans #ILoveThisLittleLife #Thegood #Thenotsogood #SimpleThings #GratefulHeart

From a shy school starter, to becoming the life of the Sneaker Ball! 🕺 Who is this guy? lol! Solomon’s journey has been a testament to the power of encouragement, belief, and nurturing his talents.

Rocking my natural hair to the sneaker ball at the request of my boys, Solomon and dad, who missed seeing it. 💁🏽‍♀️ Onar joined in, expressing her desire to wear her hair like mommy’s. 😍 It’s more than a hairstyle; it’s embracing authenticity and teaching my mini-me to love her natural self. 🌟 #NaturalHair #MiniMe #Authenticity #MomLife #BeYoutiful #MyJoy #lovetheskinyourein

Reflecting on the @badstlevelup BADST Level Up Retreat this past weekend has been a transformative journey. I needed a moment to decompress and unpack my thoughts. It was more than an event; it was a profound experience, an awakening I didn’t realize I needed. We, as sisters, converged from different corners, actively engaging in crucial dialogues on entrepreneurship, caring for aging parents, financial planning, personal branding, brand marketing, weathering storms, early retirement, living work free, challenges of motherhood, relationships, improving health outcomes through wellness and the topics and discussions went on... Two remarkable linesisters and visionaries, orchestrated this break that became a catalyst for growth. We aligned, committed, and harnessed our collective resources, expertise, and talents to uplift each other. This retreat wasn’t just a gathering; it was a testament to the power of unity, shared vision, and the strength of sisterhood that began on the highest of 7 hills @famu_1887 . We leveled up the day we chose the REAL @badst1937 BETA ALPHA chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, INC🔺✨ #BADST #LevelUpRetreat #Sisterhood #Empowerment #TheretreatYouNeeded #FAMU

Leonard George and Willie Jackson Sr. became the first Black scholarship football players at the University of Florida when they signed their historic papers in 1968. This weekend marked a momentous occasion as my husband honored them. He spoke about his father, Willie Jackson Sr, and presented him with the Legacy Award at the ABA Gala. We celebrated their extraordinary contributions. It was more than a proud moment; it was a narrative of a man who paved the way for countless men of color, enabling them to excel in football at the University of Florida. This narrative is a refreshing departure from negative stereotypes—a testament to present and active fathers. Honored to be a Jackson, representing three generations—Willie Jackson Jr, Terry Jackson, and Kahliel Jackson—wearing the #22 with pride. Today and always, we celebrate american history, our black history. We celebrate a legacy of barrier breakers, Gator greatness, and a family born into greatness. 🐊✨ #JacksonLegacy #BarrierBreakers #GatorGreat #LegacyAward #UFFootball #FamilyPride

Choosing your primary care physician should be like choosing your favorite pair of shoes. No need to force your foot into a size 6, when you know you are a true 8.5 medium. The fit should be so comfortable, you don’t want to take them off. Here are five key considerations in your selection process: * Experience: Look for a physician with experience relevant to your health needs. * Communication: You should feel seen, heard, and valued during your appointments. * Approachability: A good physician creates a comfortable space for open communication. * Preventive Care Focus: Find a doctor who emphasizes preventive care and overall wellness. * Compatibility: It’s essential to feel comfortable participating actively in your healthcare journey. In my practice, some may say I’m a tough cookie, but it’s rooted in tough love. Every patient deserves the very best, and I’m here to ensure you get it! ❤️ #PatientCare #ChooseWisely

Ladies, here’s a little reminder: Stay fly for you! Your light shines brightest when you love and embrace who you are. True love appreciates your authenticity and allows space for both to grow.

Pre-game feast so good, I caught the ‘itis’ and fell asleep during the Super Bowl after watching Usher’s performance . But then….I woke up to dancing Chiefs, thinking “Did Patrick Mahomes us?!” 😱 and he did! 🤦🏾‍♀️ Why did my momma teach me how to throw down like that! Yall…the food was so good…but D#%! 😆😩 Note to self: The post halftime nap strategy may need a revision. 🏈😴 #SuperBowlShenanigans #FoodComaGoneWrong #ourNinersLost

💪🏾 Supporting my husband’s Vegas adventure while holding down the mommie and doctor duties back home. My boo has been living it up this Super Bowl week. I was trying to get there, but logistically I have too many people that depend on me. And rescheduling over 70 patients wasn’t going to happen. FaceTime updates and play-by-plays are my lifeline! 🌟 Enjoy babe…you deserve it!!!! Go Niners! 🏈 #SupportiveWife #HappyLife #NFLVet #my49er #SuperBowlFun #TakeOneForTheTeam #HeDeservesIt

🌟 As a physician, I strive to lead with compassion and love.

Our actions, more than words, define us. Let’s continue to shine bright with the spirit of healing and empathy. 🧑🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 #CompassionateCare #FruitOfTheSpirit #PhysicianLife #BlackFemalePhysician

Never imagined anything could top my career, but being a mother and wife to my family is the true highlight.
