Redrawing Medicine - Healing, Humanity and Representation with Chidiebere Ibe
Manage episode 488026492 series 3665261
Today’s guest is Chidiebere Ibe, medical student, trailblazing medical illustrator, and a global voice for representation in healthcare. His work is deeply intentional, illustrating not just anatomy, but humanity. You may know him from his now iconic image of a Black fetus that rippled across the world, awakening a much-needed reckoning in medical education and beyond. But what you may not know is the story behind the art, a story of grief, faith, unshakable purpose, and a refusal to wait for permission. In this episode, we speak about the intersection of medicine, art, and social justice, and what it means to draw the unseen with spiritual conviction. This is Chidiebere Ibe.
