Who Jamia Is To Everyone Else

Jamia is a wife to a recent medical school graduate. Mother to three amazing children. She is also a friend, lover, cook, chauffeur, house cleaner, laundry aficionado, and keeper of all the things when it comes to running her family’s household. Each day multiple hats are worn, with many of them happening in the very same moment. Sound familiar?

The Journey To Med School Graduation

Jamia and her husband have been together for 14 years, and married for 9. He had a longing desire to go to medical school for the first 9 years they were together. When he was finally admitted in 2016, it took flipping their life on it’s proverbial head to make it work, but they were committed to his ultimate goal of becoming a doctor. No matter the cost.

A Moment Of Realization

Jamia was asked, “who are you, and what are you most proud of that doesn’t involve anyone else?”. When she drew a blank, she knew she was in deep, really deep. It was time to claw her way out to rediscover who she is under all the hats she wears for everyone else. It was time to peel back each layer until she found her true self again. Tune in this season to find out what it was that caused Jamia to come to the realization that she was stuck and needed help.

Who are you, and what are you most proud of that doesn’t involve anyone else?
