Getting a personalized message from @Oprah is definitely going down as one of the coolest moments of my life 🥺
@Oprah has a special message for @joelbervell, our latest Cycle Breaker. He's studying to become a doctor–at a time when only 5% of physicians are Black. He's forging a new era of discussion & action. The second episode is out now. #cyclebreakers #TheColorOfCare
