What is the meaning and source of identity, particularly those with multiple identities? How has deep-rooted colonialism affected immigrant experiences? What expectations are tied to race and skin tone in Africa vs America?
In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts in multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this video, Jill interviews Dr. Yvonne Ator, a personal and executive coach for physicians and other mission-driven professionals. They discuss the nuances of the immigrant experience in America for Black people, the culture of unlearning internalized colonialism as an immigrant, and the privilege of being vulnerable. Dr. Ator touches on the events of 2020 awakening 20/20 vision into who individuals are and who they strive to become.
Seeker. Mother. Idealist. Humanitarian. Musician. Coach. Writer. Physician. Author. Activist.
British-born, raised in Nigeria and the United States, Yvonne Ator is the quintessential idealistic, eclectic, third-cultured Renaissance woman. A wife and mother seeking balance in a driven profession with training as a physician and a master of public health, she soon found herself burned out and disillusioned with a life that was not aligned with her ideals.
Self-described as the “imaginary love-child of Schweitzer and Oprah”, she embarked on a quest to discover what it would take to thrive while living her ideals and making a positive impact in the world. As a Certified Daring Way Facilitator and Certified Personal, Leadership and Executive coach in Positive Psychology, Trained in Unbeatable Mind Coaching, she is passionate about using writing, music, speaking, coaching and facilitation to inspire a global tribe of Thriving Idealists to “live your ideals, thrive in your calling and change the world.”
