Understand, Create, Discover

I didn’t take the traditional path toward a career in medicine; I’m a Physician, but I’ve always been the creative type with interests in writing, music, and social media content creation in addition to science and medicine. My journey has been as defined by the challenges of synthesizing my interests as it has been by overcoming the hurdles of pursuing a career in medicine.

I was first inspired toward an interest in medicine as a youngster by my mother who would tell my siblings and I stories about her father, who served as a field medic during the Biafran civil war in Nigeria. Her stories about how he had braved the battlefield not to take lives, but to save them were awe-inspiring. I saw medicine as a career that could allow for a deep and meaningful connection to the best spirit of humanity.

My parents immigrated to the US in the 1980's from Nigeria. My father, a Yoruba man, and my mother, an Igbo woman, both came to the U.S. seeking to further their educations. In each other, they found that the differences that might have divided their people back home did not compare to the common bonds they shared. Growing up, they taught us the value of education, and of course held us to the "success is the only option" standard Nigerian work ethic. From them, I learned to understand and appreciate my heritage and developed an abiding interest in the African Diaspora.

After earning my Bachelor of Sciences in Biology and a Master of Sciences in Biomedical Science from Wake Forest University, and later my Doctor of Medicine from St. George’s University, I embarked on my medical career with a focus on family medicine. I recently completed my residency at Charles R. Drew University School of Medicine in Los Angeles, where I also served as a leader within the program, advocating for fellow residents and pursuing my passion for sports medicine.

I’ve always expressed my interests through writing, and after graduating from college, I built African Dynamo, a blogging platform for writers, artists, photographers, and other creative people from all over Africa and its diaspora. Through this platform, I’ve collaborated with content creators, brands, and companies to promote a positive and diverse narrative about Africa and its diaspora.

Currently, I am the founder of Dynamo Health, a practice based in Los Angeles that offers a unique blend of in-person and telehealth services, specializing in personalized, patient-centered care. Dynamo Health is the culmination of my journey—integrating my passion for medicine, creativity, and innovation to provide high-quality care that addresses the unique needs of each patient. Whether it’s through advanced procedures, concierge services, or telehealth, my goal is to make healthcare accessible, efficient, and tailored to fit into your life.

Beyond medicine, I am deeply involved in the world of social media, where I create content that educates and inspires. Whether it’s through music, videos, or informative posts, I strive to connect with a broader audience, sharing knowledge and insights on health, wellness, and the power of positive thinking.

My story is one of blending disciplines and breaking molds—proving that you can be both a scientist and an artist, a healer and a creator. I invite you to join me on this journey as we explore new frontiers in healthcare and beyond.
