In the second episode of Beyond the White Coat, Dr. Zwade Marshall sits down with Dr. Eva Bonsu—hospitalist, author, mentor, and digital storyteller—for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about identity, purpose, and belonging in medicine.

From her early life in Haiti to navigating medical training as a Black woman and immigrant in the U.S., Dr. Bonsu shares how who we are before medicine continues to shape who we become within it. Together, they explore representation, mentorship, and the quiet pressures many physicians face to assimilate rather than show up authentically.

The conversation moves through hospitalist medicine, leadership at the bedside, physician well-being, and the realities of balancing medicine with motherhood and personal sustainability. Dr. Bonsu also reflects on storytelling, social media, and why authenticity—not perfection—is what truly resonates and creates impact.

This isn’t about fitting the mold.

It’s about understanding that there is no single “right” way to be a doctor—and that your story is not a liability, but a source of leadership.

If you’ve ever questioned where you belong in medicine, felt unseen during training, or wondered how to build a career without erasing parts of yourself—this episode is for you.
