In this compelling episode, we sit down with Dr. Mercy Korir, a trailblazing Kenyan physician and journalist, whose story weaves resilience, purpose, and powerful storytelling. Born in Kericho, Kenya, and raised in humble beginnings, Dr. Korir’s brilliance shone early—always topping her class and dreaming beyond the constraints of poverty. We explore how her medical training became the foundation not only for clinical care but for advocacy, as she made a bold pivot into media to bridge the gap between medical science and public understanding. From the wards to the newsroom, Dr. Korir has stayed grounded in her identity as a doctor, using the media to uphold her Hippocratic oath in a new arena: public education and health communication.
