After 4 years, I’d like to reintroduce myself as Dr. Jalen Spain, MD 👨🏾🎓
I now join the 2.6% of Black men who are physicians. The journey has been tough but it has been conquered!

I asked DeMarcus Cousins his thoughts on potentially seeing LeBron James’ last ever game in the NBA. He gave an incredibly thoughtful and reflective response:
“I think he’s got another 10 years left. For a guy who I grew up watching as a kid, I was a part of his camps as a young kid – it will be a sad day. I’m a guy that appreciates LeBron James. I know a lot of people hate him, I’m a guy that appreciates his legacy and what he’s done for the game and young athletes. Creating a blueprint on how to carry yourself on and off the court, how to take care of your body and be the ultimate professional. I appreciate everything he’s brought to the game. Whenever he decides to make it his last, I hope he gets the flowers he deserves”
I can't wait for Gen Z’s to completely take over professional spaces and redefine competency separately from appearances and identity norms.
Like yes my doctor has her nose pierced and she's great at her job.
Nobody grew up with the intention of being a cleaner, shelf packer, cashier, security guard, taxi driver, car cleaner, a bartender, or store general worker. We all had big dreams, but life happened. Respect people's jobs.
