Season 2 · Episode 4 · Nov 30, 2023

This story, told by stand-up comedienne and writer Sophie Duker, is about the fearless advocacy of pioneer and “health care hottie” Joycelyn Elders. From humble beginnings in rural Arkansas, Joycelyn overcame countless obstacles to become a true beacon of change in the medical field. Her relentless pursuit to address and implement sexual education, reproductive health and drug abuse prevention policies propelled her through various roles as a nurse, educator, and ultimately, the first African American to serve as Surgeon General of the United States. Although her determination to improve the health and wellness of all Americans was met with bouts of controversy, she’ll forever be an icon.
