My name is Aldwin Soumare, and I am a medical graduate of PCOM-GA, an osteopathic medical school near Atlanta GA in 2022. I started neurology residency and realized psychiatry was a place where I could evolve as a quintessential clinician and become an advocate for mental health. In medical school, I engaged in CBT and motivational interviewing with patients across a variety of psychiatric rotations. I currently serve as a podcast co-host for two podcasts, the Melaninwhitecoats and SNMA presents the lounge podcast where we discuss medicine at the intersection of society and culture. I love the opportunity to share optimism and support for my fellow brothers. I have had previous experience with research in how mindfulness/meditation can help individuals with depression in the African American community. In this I created a website where African Americans would come and listen to mindfulness/meditative music and I would guide the meditation sessions. I also serve as a coach for black professionals especially in the medical space and how to navigate trauma, stereotype threat, institutional racism, and discriminatory practices. I am author of the book Tools of Excellence: From Hood to Hooded: A Guide to Becoming the Physician You Dream which is a guide for black men and woman on how they can become physicians. Coming from the hood, I never understood the work and involvement that was necessary to get the Doctor before my last name. I also avail myself to the brothers on the block as a the psych guy to them where I help them ascertain why and how they feel regarding elements in their environment and personal lives. I take joy in being able to instill confidence and provide a source of encouragement utilizing my expertise for them. I also have created and spearheaded barbershop and talk therapy sessions at barber shops in Georgia and have aspirations to continue to do this in NYC where I have relocated. Instinctively, I desired to be involved with expressyourselfblackman as I listened to Kizzle on the Black Wealth Renaissance Podcast earlier today. I have followed the page for quite a while on IG and listen to the podcast actively and love the work that is being done. Thank you for your consideration and feel free to reach out to me regarding your interest. I absolutely want to help you in your journey of achieving higher level excellence in your personal, emotional, spiritual and physical life.
