Join Dr. Moss as she interviews Malikiya Hinds, a second-year medical student at Harvard Medical School, who moved from Trinidad to the U.S. alone in 2016 to pursue her dream of becoming a physician despite the odds stacked against her. Malikiya shares her experiences as a Black woman with a visible disability in the medical field, the challenges she faced, and the importance of representation and finding community. Discover how she creatively adapts to a 'two-handed world', and how her journey continues to inspire others to take up space and pursue their dreams against all odds.
