Saturday at 6:30 PM, and he's been working nonstop. Balancing a Master’s in Public Health with the final weeks of a Chief Medical Officer program at Emory has made for a busy stretch, and today was no exception. After hours of intense focus, he finally wrapped up work and made an unexpected decision—to give his tired feet a break from the usual walking routine and hop on his bike instead.
For him, this wasn’t just about changing things up; it was a reminder of the importance of commitment to health, no matter the circumstances. Even after a full day of study and professional responsibilities, he chose to stay active. And tomorrow, he plans to do it all again: make it to church, finish some work, and then hit the bike for another ride. He knows how easy it is to find excuses not to move, but he’s learned that there’s always an option if he’s willing to look for it.
It’s not just about physical fitness; it’s a broader mission. He recognizes that health disparities in communities like his stem in part from lifestyle choices—choices that sometimes require a lot of perseverance and, occasionally, creative adjustments. He’s become a champion for that shift, sharing his journey in the hope that others see the possibility for themselves.
All of this is about proving that no matter what life throws our way, there’s always something we can do for our health. That’s the message he’s determined to share: if he can push through, so can anyone else. It’s time to step up, get moving, and create a healthier future—together.
