Achieving Success with Olivia Atkin Episode 80 "Achieve Impact: Bridging Communities in Medicine And Media with Actor Jocko Sims and Dr. Nia Mitchell"

Olivia talks personal and professional achievements with Actor Jocko Sims and Doctor Nia Mitchell. 
Introducing Jocko Sims, an actor and producer known for his roles in "New Amsterdam", "How to Die Alone", "The Last Ship" and "The Resident". Beyond his acting career, Jocko is deeply committed to giving back to his communities. He serves as an ambassador for Hidden Heroes, a foundation established by the Elizabeth Dole Foundation to support caregivers of wounded or ill veterans. Additionally, Jocko started the More Black Doctors initiative that supports increasing the representation of Black doctors in the healthcare system. Currently, he's working with Dr. Nia S. Mitchell from The Mile High Medical Society to raise funds for the Charles J. Blackwood Endowed Memorial Scholarship Fund, supporting black medical students at the University of Colorado.

 Now, let's turn our attention to Dr. Nia S. Mitchell, MD, MPH. Dr. Mitchell earned her medical degree from Washington University in St. Louis and completed her residency and research fellowship at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. She's an associate
professor of General Internal Medicine at Duke University, focusing her research on weight loss interventions for underserved populations. Dr. Mitchell's dedication to improving healthcare access and outcomes for marginalized communities is commendable, and her contributions to the field of medicine are invaluable.
