💬 "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...

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.

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.

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 discuss how the right mindset and guidance can lead you towards reaching your full potential, and how that realization inspired me to write the book I’m releasing this 2025…
Have you ever felt like you're on autopilot, stuck in the trap of having a monotonous routine? You’re not alone; that’s a struggle a lot of people go through. In fact, statistics show that 80% of people never really reach their full potential in life.
But why is that? What’s holding you back from breaking free? Well, let me tell you: it’s the lack of the right guidance—and more crucially, the right mindset—to do so.
And as an internist with a passion for helping others, such realization has driven me to finally write the book I’ve always wanted to write. In this episode, we’ll talk about just that, along with the motivations behind the book I call a labor of love.
From the challenges of feeling stuck, the importance of taking action, and how having the right mindset can lead to meaningful change—this episode covers my writing journey and what I hope you’ll do after reading a self-help book like mine.
In an effort to help people like you transform your life, I’m putting it out there, and you’ll be able to read it by the end of the first quarter of 2025. But while you wait for its release, join us in this episode first and discover why it's essential to be an action-taker—not just a consumer of self-help materials like mine.

“I don’t want you to just be consumers. I want you to be action-takers of the material or information that’s going to be provided for you.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
Notable Quotes:
“That’s one thing about me that you guys know—I’m all about the action. We have enough books, enough seminars, [and] enough courses. We have plenty of information out there, but we don’t have a lot of people taking action out there…There’s plenty of people giving information, but not plenty of people demanding action. So, anytime you consume any bit of my content…I want you to know that I want you to take this information that I’m giving you and apply it to your life almost immediately…so you can start seeing the results. Because once you start seeing the results, guess what? It becomes this positive feedback loop that you want to more action again.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
“You have so many different options and so many different scenarios and routes to get from point A to point B, but it's because you have so many different options, routes, and scenarios that you just end up not moving. So [through the book], we're going to make sure even those people who feel just confused and stuck—they have a route to go, and they have examples in the palm of their hands of people who have done it, or people who didn't do it and the consequences of it.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
