Championing Health & Saving Lives
An excerpt from Renowned
Surgeon Dr. Maseray S. Kamara Is Championing Health Equity in The U.S.
by Gee NY
Despite Black Americans making up 13% of the U.S. population, only 5.4% of physicians are Black, and of those, only 2.8% are Black women, according to a 2021 report in The Lancet.
Dr. Maseray S. Kamara, MD, is one of the few Black women in the field of colon and rectal surgery, specializing in robotic surgery and anorectal disease.
~~~~~
Dr. Kamara’s path to medicine was driven by more than just a desire to treat disease—it was about empowering patients through knowledge and advocacy.
“I realized that healthcare wasn’t just about treating disease—it was about empowering patients with knowledge, advocating for better health outcomes, and making a tangible difference in people’s lives,” Dr. Kamara told Girl Talk HQ.
Her work is particularly significant as Black Americans face disproportionately higher rates of colorectal cancer, with Black men and women 20% more likely to be diagnosed and 40% more likely to die from the disease than other racial groups, according to the American Cancer Society. Dr. Kamara’s presence in the field is not just about representation—it’s about saving lives.

After successfully building three other clinics, as mentioned on Upworthy and Scoop Upworthy, NBA all-star Michael Jordan teamed up once again with Novant Health to build a fourth clinic for the uninsured in North Carolina. The health clinic is the second one built in Wilmington and opened on February 19, 2025.
Jordan is considered by many to be the greatest basketball player to compete in the National Basketball Association. With a career at the top spanning from 1984 through 2003, Jordan became a six-time NBA champion and four-time gold medalist in the Olympics. Jordan would be inducted in the NBA Hall of Fame in 2009.
This creation of this health clinic was based on the benefits shown from the previous clinics in the state. After the success of the first clinic, Jordan gifted $10 million to Novant Health to expand and create others. Each location was chosen based on the barriers the community was facing in obtaining health care, including transportation. Many patients had their first primary care visit with a physician thanks to Jordan’s clinics providing these services for people who cannot afford health insurance.
This new clinic will have a standard primary care team of physicians, but also a community health worker to assist the patients and grant access to community resources. The 7,3000-square-foot clinic and its 12 patient rooms will be open on weekdays.
Racial Draft = Solid Gold

Tiger Woods’ Visit To The White House Instantly Reminded People Of Dave Chappelle’s Famous “Racial Draft” Skit
By Quinn Eaton
Tiger Woods is currently trending across all social media platforms.
Why? Well, the pro golfer was at the White House for a meeting with President Donald Trump that had the future of the game of golf in mind. The POTUS has voiced his desire to bring the PGA Tour and the LIV Tour together, or at the very least allow for some crossover between the two. So Trump met with Tiger, Adam Scott and PGA commissioner Jay Monohan. Saudi Arabia’s PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan was also rumored to be in attendance at the White House.
However, the moment that really stole the show was when President Donald Trump addressed a Black History Month Reception that was happening at the White House, and since Tiger Woods was already there, he apparently invited him to tag along. It made for quite the moment, as you can see in this photo shared by the White House:

There were also a lot of jokes that referenced Dave Chappelle’s clever and somewhat controversial “Racial Draft” sketch, which featured the comedian playing Tiger Woods and being “drafted” with the first overall pick.
