I Said, I'm Gonna Be A Doctor...: The Adventures of Jamiale and Poppy

As a child, Jamiale encountered friends, teachers, and even some family members who couldn't see HOW he could possibly achieve his dream of becoming a doctor. After all, most of them, including Jamiale, have never seen a Doctor who looked like him. Despite the doubt, hard work, frustration, and obstacles he encounters, Jamiale is determined to defy expectations, refusing to give up even when things feel impossible. He soon learns that his dream can only be realized when he asks for and accepts help from those who love and believe in him. With the support and encouragement of his parents, grandparents, relatives, teachers, friends, clergy, and his loyal canine companion, Poppy, Jamiale sets his sights on becoming a community medicine doctor. Jamiale's barrier-breaking journey to becoming a doctor, caregiver, mentor, and role model paves the way for generations of doctors in his family...and dreamers everywhere.
