In this episode of Our Voices, Our Future, we sit down with Dr. Jessica Lowe—neurologist, epileptologist, and fierce advocate—for a powerful conversation on gender bias, representation, and reclaiming femininity in medicine. From her roots in The Bahamas to leading stroke codes in red scrubs, Dr. Lowe brings humor, insight, and a fearless voice to the mic.

We talk about what it means to be underestimated, to be called “too much,” and how social media like her Dr. Brain Barbie platform is flipping stereotypes on their heads. This is one you don’t want to miss.
