Check Yo Breasts with Uzoamaka Osameka
In this episode, I sit down with Uzoamaka Osameka a health equity advocate and multidisciplinary creative dedicated to empowering communities and transforming systems of care. As Programs & Community Lead at TOUCH, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance, she oversees the BELONG and SAMBAI initiatives, serves on the Young Women’s Advisory Board, and co-hosts SAMBAI Speaks, a monthly web series on BlackDoctor.org reaching over 6,000 viewers per episode.
With a B.S. in Health and Rehabilitative Sciences from East Stroudsburg University and a degree in Occupational Therapy from Thomas Jefferson University, Uzo brings over a decade of experience in healthcare administration, therapy, and applied behavior analysis.
Also a visual artist, her work—centered on healing, freedom, and resilience—has been featured across TOUCH platforms and at the Harlem Fine Arts Show in partnership with Graphite House. Through both advocacy and art, Uzo creates spaces of comfort, visibility, and joy for the communities she serves.
