Since our inception, Melanin & Medicine has shifted from helping Black women physicians thrive inside of existing healthcare structures to making a decision to help them create new ways of being, new ways of transforming healthcare that don’t need to fit into what has traditionally been presented to them. That’s why episode 117 of the Melanin & Medicine Podcast is about empowering underrepresented women in medicine to transform healthcare!

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
