Meet the Founder & Advisors
Dr. Lattisha Bilbrew
Founder | Orthopaedic Surgeon | Trailblazer
As a nonprofit, we exist to create meaningful opportunities for high school students from underrepresented backgrounds to discover, explore, and pursue careers in medicine, with the support of families, mentors, and institutions.
Dr. Bilbrew, the first Black woman partner at Resurgens Orthopaedics in Atlanta, was inspired to become a physician after witnessing the mistreatment of her grandmother in a hospital where no Black doctors were present. Her story began with injustice, but evolved into a mission to transform the face of medicine
“I didn’t see any doctors who looked like me. So I became one.”
— Dr. Lattisha Bilbrew

Real Challenges Facing Women of Color in Medicine
The statistics are sobering:
Less than 3% of U.S. physicians are Black women
Fewer than 1% hold full professorships in medical schools
Women of color are overburdened with unpaid DEI work
Many young girls of color have never been treated by a doctor who looks like them
These numbers point to a deeper crisis: a lack of representation that impacts not only careers but also health outcomes, trust in the system, and entire communities.
When girls of color don’t see themselves in medicine, they often don’t believe they belong there.
Early Exposure
Interactive hospital visits, hands-on STEM days, and immersive health career workshops for middle and high school girls.
Mentorship
Life-changing relationships with women physicians of color who offer encouragement, wisdom, and real-world guidance.
Representation & Storytelling
Live panels, digital content, and in-person events where students hear from women who have walked the path—and now light the way.
By making the medical field visible, personal, and possible, we’re helping to build the future of healthcare, one girl at a time.s.
Early Exposure, Mentorship & Community That Changes Lives
We create a clear path from curiosity to career for young women of color through Early Exposure, Mentorship, Representation & Storytelling.
Be the Mentor You Once Needed
Behind every doctor is a moment that sparked the dream—and a person who helped keep it alive.
Inspiring Tomorrow’s Healers Today is inviting physicians and healthcare professionals to invest in the future of medicine by mentoring just one student from an underrepresented background who dreams of wearing the white coat.
Your guidance, encouragement, and lived experience can change the trajectory of a young life.
One conversation. One connection. One commitment.
🩺 Will you be that difference?
