💬 "That's why I give recording artists—hip-hop artists, especially—so much kudos, because I think people downplay just the emphasis of what they're doing, like, ‘Oh, it's just a rap song.’ But no; this is a therapy session going on here, as you can see.” ⚡ In this episode, I explore Meek Mill’s powerful verse on Fridayy’s “Proud of Me”, which I think is one of the best verses of the year. Here, I discuss how it serves as a powerful commentary on grief, loss, and the quest for acceptance from lost loved ones. With personal reflections and a deep dive into the lyrics, this...

💬 "I knew right there and then, this is the direction we're going to have to go, especially if I want Autism in Black to be the greatest. If I want Autism in Black to go to the next level, I know that I'm not going to be able to do it with only focus being on women.” ⚡ In this episode, I share with you my awesome experience at the fifth annual Autism in Black Conference—our first in-person conference after years of doing it virtually. Here, I reflect on why Black fathers’ voices and experiences matter and why it should be talked about in the autism community. 🎧 Stay tuned to find...

💬 "In a population where being a diabetic increases your risk of actually having an amputation of the leg by almost tenfold, I would hope just checking your foot would be something that would be at the top of your list.” ⚡ In this episode, I talk about the critically important yet often overlooked topic of diabetic foot care. Just recently, LaVar Ball shared in a SLAM interview how his leg had to be amputated due to diabetes complications. And you know me—even when you’re my worst enemy, that’s something I’d never wish to happen to you. So, if you want to learn what you can do...

💬 "Being aware that someone is autistic is not the same as being accepting of them. Awareness sees the diagnosis. Acceptance sees the person." ⚡ In this episode, I’ll talk about the importance of transitioning from Autism Awareness Month to Autism Acceptance Month. For too long, discussions around autism have stopped at mere awareness, but truth be told—that’s not enough. We should also advocate for acceptance—for inclusive spaces in education, workplaces, and beyond. So, if you’re ready to do that, join me as I discuss how we can create a more inclusive society from this day...

So, let’s talk about the reasons why measles is back and why we’re blaming misinformation and disinformation for it… Should we be concerned? Do we need to get vaccinated ASAP? Tune in to this episode to find out! A disease we’ve eradicated in this country in the year 2000 has now come back, and it’s definitely worse than before. Yes, I’m talking about the measles disease and its recent outbreaks here in the United States.

So, let’s talk about Autism in Black’s 5th Annual Conference and why this one is a little bit more special than the others… If you are a Black autistic individual, a parent, caregiver, or educator to one, or an ally looking to provide better support for Black autistic individuals, this episode—and conference—are FOR YOU. For so long, the Black autism community has struggled with access to resources, culturally responsive care, and finding safe spaces to learn and grow.

So, let’s talk about HKU5—a coronavirus variant that’s just one mutation away from potentially infecting humans. Should we be worried? Could this be the next pandemic threat? Tune in to this episode to find out! We’ve seen how fast viruses can spread once they make the jump to humans, and with scientists discovering HKU5, this topic has sparked significant concern in the scientific community and even spooked the financial markets—causing unnecessary panic, financial market fluctuations, and public uncertainty. But should we really be alarmed? Or is this another case of fear outpacing...

So, let’s talk about the common causes of low libido and what you can do to reignite your passion and improve your sex life… Are you or your partner struggling with low libido, wondering why your sex drive isn’t what it used to be? You're not alone. In fact, 70% of adults will experience low libido at some point in their lives. However, despite how common it is, this topic remains taboo, leaving many to struggle in silence and confusion. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Low libido doesn’t have to be a lifelong struggle, and it’s not something that’s just “in your head”....

So, let’s talk about why The Black Boys, Men, and Fathers Summit is a must-attend summit this 2025… Imagine discovering that resources for you or your child are scarce, conversations about your lived experiences are nearly non-existent, and no one is talking about the challenges you face daily—let alone solutions on how to overcome them. For many Black autistic men and fathers, this isn’t just a challenge—it’s their daily reality. And as you know, my wife and I have been working to change that narrative by starting Autism in Black Inc. Following the success of the Black Autistic...
info_outlineSo, let’s talk about my experience at the ClickFunnels conference and the upcoming changes to keep an eye on in our content…
I’m very excited about this week’s podcast because I’m just coming back from a conference that I look forward to every single year. And if you've been following me long enough, you’ll know that I’m not talking about a medical conference here.

And today, I’m going to share with you my experiences at that virtual ClickFunnels conference, along with my plans to provide more and more content.

“I understood that as a physician, just being smart medically wasn't going to be enough if I wanted to educate the community I needed to educate at a bigger level. Like, yes, I can educate the person who comes into my office or the person who I see in a hospital. But then, there are hundreds and thousands or millions of people who won't get the education needed because of access reasons, trust reasons, [or] the fact that there's so much bad information that they have to sift through. So, I understood that I needed to not only put my medical thinking hat on but put a different hat on, which was the marketing and everything else kind of under the sun.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
Notable Quotes:
“I tell doctors all the time: If instead of calling patients ‘patients’, you call them ‘customers’, you would probably treat them a little better.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
“Like I said, we've been doing this for going on 15 years now, and I'm always excited that even in year 15 [or] 14—whatever time frame it is, we still have ways to grow and get bigger and better for you guys.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
“I think all of these things here are going to continue to be great drivers for us that again empower ourselves for better health.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
