| This account of the life of Dr. Kimberly Gilbert showcases the challenges of being a black female physician in America. Practicing in Atlanta, a city known for its black presence, did not shield Dr. Gilbert from the stereotypes of being black and female in an often white and male-dominated field. This riveting account provides insight into her difficult plight navigating the stereotypes and prejudices from colleagues and patients alike. Dr. Gilbert's experiences of overwhelming exclusion, and her constant battle to feel valued in her profession, draws the reader into her world while showcasing her courage and determination. As Dr. Gilbert faces complex social and cultural difficulties, she illustrates the existence of prejudices and racism in her field, but successfully highlights how she has been able to push past those boundaries. By sharing her story about her modest beginnings, strong and supportive upbringing, and personal struggles and triumphs, Dr. Gilbert invites readers into her journey while also becoming their voice. She created this outstanding memoir and self-help book to provide hope to other black minorities who are pursuing a career in the medical field, as well as to those in other career fields who are facing the same challenges. This insightful and inspiring account is sure to initiate impactful and open conversations about racial disparities in healthcare that have been ignored for far too long. |
