DIVERSITY IN DENTISTRY MENTORSHIPS, INC
After learning the shocking statistic that Black dentists represent less than 4% of all U.S. dentists, I knew I had to make a change. I founded Diversity in Dentistry Mentorships, Inc., a 501 (c)(3) organization to strengthen the diversity pathway from middle school to dental school. My mission is to encourage and empower young people of color to pursue a career in dentistry through mentorship to strike a balance in the profession and drive health equity.

Sometimes you sit in a course expecting nothing, and once in a great moon, you get a life-changing, kick-in-the-pants lecture that wakes you up, and gives you a path for more purpose in life, something we all strive for. After listening to Dr. Laila Hishaw's presentation, Leading with Inclusive Leadership, I pivoted. Thankfully, I am now mentoring two students, one in dental school, the other applying both minorities, along with other community service events, Dr. Hishaw opened my eyes, gave me tools and the right push to enjoy more than just dentistry, but a purpose to help those that need us in this profession.

Dr. Hishaw is an excellent speaker who inspires from her real world experience as a woman CEO and clinician. Her mission to bring diversity and inclusion is refreshing to the dental industry.
Dr. Hishaw helps us to see how important this topic is in our working environment, not only for the dental team, but also for the patients we serve. Diversity and Inclusion is highly relevant in today's society. She helps educate our colleagues to be well informed and self aware in our workplace. Dr. Hishaw is well prepared, easy to work with, and a true professional.

There is a real dearth of information about how and why women in healthcare are so disproportionately affected by burnout. Maybe it's partly because soft skills that women excel in aren't valued even though our soft skills hold society together.

Dr. Laila Hishaw has a desire to create and cultivate safe spaces. She saw a glaring inequity and need and created Diversity In Dentistry Mentorships. She also addresses women in healthcare professions and their specific needs.
