Honored to stand among greatness at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation at the Payne Sr. School of Technology.

The National Medical Association MEN’S HEALTH session on cardiovascular health, obesity, diabetes, violence, and stress management was a powerful reminder that true change happens when leadership, mentorship, advocacy, and community come together across generations.

Proud to reconnect with fellow Rutgers University ODASIS alumni Kamal Khan, Owano Pennacooke, and Capt. Fran Abanyie. Jersey represented with pride.

And somehow… my 16-year-old son Oluseye thought his dad was cool for once 😂. I’ll cherish that moment.

Honored to meet Nicole Austin-Hillery and inspired by her commitment to equity and transformational leadership.

The legacy of Donald Payne Sr. and Donald Payne Jr. continues to stretch from Newark to the Mississippi Delta through advocacy, service, and the ongoing fight for health equity and justice. The mission lives on through efforts like the ARC Act and the work to reduce preventable amputations and cardiovascular disparities in underserved communities.

Always meaningful reconnecting with Mrs. Payne, Jack Payne, and LaVerne Alexander. The fellowship and conversations were unforgettable.

Honored. Energized. And more convinced than ever—this is our moment.

Grateful to be part of a powerful dialogue at the NMA Colloquium on Transforming Chronic Disease Care—alongside leaders pushing real change forward.

Shoutout to:
Co-Panelist: Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford — redefining how we address obesity with science + humanity
Moderator - Dr. Michael G. Knight — advancing value-based care where it matters most
President of NMA- Dr. Roger A. Mitchell Jr. — creating spaces that drive action

I met amazing peers and spoke on a crisis we can no longer afford to ignore:

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) & preventable limb loss

➡️ 20+ million Americans affected
➡️ Disproportionately impacting underserved communities
➡️ Driving avoidable amputations, disability, and cost

PAD isn’t just a disease—
it’s a system failure when missed.

But momentum is building:

• ARC Act gaining traction
• Illinois SB1418 passed
• Georgia HB1122 advancing

Policy is catching up to the problem.

We are shifting:
➡️ Amputation → Limb preservation
➡️ Fragmentation → Coordination
➡️ Awareness → Action

From the Mississippi Delta to national policy—we’ve seen what works.

Early detection.
Multidisciplinary care.
Community-based screening.

The blueprint exists. Now we scale it.

If you’re in policy, healthcare, or industry—this is the moment.

Because behind every stat is a life…
and a limb that can still be saved.

We’re not waiting anymore.

The numbers behind PAD-related amputations are alarming—especially across the South and the Mississippi Delta. This interactive heat map helps visualize where amputations are happening and why awareness, screening, and timely vascular care are critical to saving limbs and lives.
