158 GTG Alumni Spotlight: Teni Brown, MD

In our latest podcast, Kemi interviews Dr. Oluwateniola “Teni” Brown, a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist, and Assistant Professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Brown leads diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at Northwestern Medicine as the Director for Obstetrics and Gynecology and for McGaw Medical Center.  

Her clinical focus includes pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and fistulas, while her research centers on treatment disparities, surgical outcomes for pelvic floor disorders, and bias in medicine. She's dedicated to providing quality, compassionate, and equitable care and is an alumnus of our Get That Grant® coaching program! 

Dr. Brown's insights offer a powerful message: Bet on yourself, embrace the journey, and never settle for anything less than the joy you deserve in both life and career. Join the conversation as they discuss: 

• Dr. Brown’s decision to enroll in "Get That Grant" and "Fully Funded" and how coaching helped her navigate challenges, apply skills, and realize her dreams. 
• The importance of a supportive community with a shared language and strategic structure that allows for articulating your ambitions without intimidation.
