Meet Dr. Candace White

Walking Into a New Season ✨ Life has taught me that not everyone is meant to join us on every leg of our journey. Growth requires vision, and moving forward means aligning ourselves with people who support and nurture that vision. Small minds go small places. To reach higher, we must open ourselves to the vast possibilities the universe has in store. It begins with a mindset shift: think positively, speak your desires into existence, and back those dreams with actionable plans. Surround yourself with those who lift you, inspire you, and challenge you to grow. As we approach the end of this year, let’s focus on finishing strong, stepping boldly into what’s ahead, and embracing the endless potential of the future. This is your season to rise. Stay grounded, stay intentional, and keep moving forward with purpose. Love Doc White—the Lifestyle Doc #WalkingIntoANewSeason #FinishStrong #GrowthAndVision #ManifestYourDreams #PositiveMindset #StepIntoYourPurpose #FaithAndAction

Today at church, Solomon and Onar learned about the powerful prophecy of Isaiah! “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” - Isaiah 9:6-7 As we prepare for the Christmas season, this reminder of God’s promise through Isaiah brings so much hope and joy. Grateful for these moments of learning and reflection with my children! 🙏🏾 #FaithJourney #Isaiah9 #PrinceOfPeace #WonderfulCounselor #MightyGod #EverlastingFather #FamilyInFaith #SundayLessons #PreparingForChristmas #HopeInChrist #RaisingKingdomKids

It’s December 1st, and you know what that means—the official countdown 🗓️ to Christmas has begun! 🎄✨ The kids and I are in full holiday mode, pretending we’re all about Santa’s arrival, but let’s be honest… they know the real MVPs of this season are Mom and Dad. They’re acting so excited about Santa, and the shenanigans of that elf 🧝🏾that somehow ends up on the shelf each morning. Who are we kidding? The only magic here is a tired parent’s creativity at 11 PM!😅 But amidst the holiday hustle, we’re keeping our hearts focused on the true reason for the season—the birth of Jesus, the greatest gift of all. 🎁 His love and light remind us why we celebrate, giving meaning to the joy, generosity, and togetherness of this special time. Here’s to 24 days of family, faith, and holiday fun, with a sprinkle of Christmas magic along the way! 🎄 #CountdownToChristmas #JesusIsTheReason #HolidayHumor #SantaAndTheElfTeamwork #ChristmasMagic #FamilyAndFaith #JoyToTheWorld #TrueGiftOfTheSeason

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! 🍁🦃🙏🏾🍽 This year, we took a moment to capture our family in photos—simple snapshots that seal a precious moment in time. While we’re far from perfect, these pictures reflect everything I could ever hope for: love, connection, joy and gratitude. As you gather with your loved ones today, may your hearts be full, your laughter be loud, and your moments together be unforgettable. Wishing you a day filled with love, family, and thanksgiving! LOVE Doc White—The Lifestyle Doc🥰 #HappyThanksgiving #FamilyFirst #GratefulHeart #MakingMemories #LoveAndGratitude #ThanksgivingBlessings #CherishedMoments #FamilyTime #HolidayLove #GratitudeMatters

This Thanksgiving, my heart is overflowing with gratitude for my family—the people who have shaped me into the independent woman, devoted wife, and loving mother I am today. I honor my incredible parents, whose unwavering love and resilience have guided me through life. My father, a true fighter, has overcome battles with prostate cancer and blood clots. Yet, we find ourselves in another fight—one that tests us all in new ways. As our parents age, we gain a deeper understanding of how fleeting life truly is. Despite these challenges, we endure, we cherish, and we continue to celebrate every precious moment together. To all those this Thanksgiving who are missing loved ones, or who are caring for aging or ill parents, my prayers are with you. I know it isn’t easy, but please know—you are not alone. May we all hold onto the love and memories that make life beautiful and give thanks for the time we have with those we hold dear. Wishing everyone a Thanksgiving filled with peace, love, and gratitude.🙏🏾 Love Doc White —The Lifestyle Doc #ThanksgivingGratitude #FamilyLove #HonoringParents #CherishedMoments #CaregiversSupport #YouAreNotAlone #StrengthInFamily #CelebrateTheMoments

Golf is truly a beautiful sport—challenging yet rewarding. The angles, vectors, and technique can be so frustrating to master, but that’s what makes it exciting! I could easily spend all day out here. What a perfect way to kick off our Thanksgiving holiday! Watching Solomon fall in love with the game, just like his daddy, is such a joy. 🥰 Wishing everyone a wonderful week filled with love, laughter, and new memories. Don’t forget to cherish the ones you already hold close. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃⛳️ #GolfLife #ThanksgivingVibes #FamilyTime #MakingMemories #GolfSwingPractice #SportsFamily #ParentingJoy #HolidayTraditions #CherishTheMoment

Now that my husband and I have children, we are intentional about teaching them mindfulness—slowing down, breathing, and being present. Nature has an incredible way of centering you. Since we love the outdoors, we’ve made it a family tradition to walk the trails and sit by the river, taking in the beauty of God’s creation. They are never too young to learn that achieving balance in mind, body, and spirit is the key to good health and perfect peace. 🌿✨ #MindfulnessMatters #FamilyTime #NatureLovers #ParentingWithPurpose #HealthyLiving #PeacefulParenting #BalanceIsKey #FaithAndWellness

Happy anniversary to my beautiful line sisters—here’s to a sisterhood that stands the test of time! 🎉🕊️ #DSTAnniversary #28YearsStrong #SisterhoodForLife #BossWomen #WeAreOne✨🔺

🔺🐘✨ 28 years ago, 49 dynamic women from diverse backgrounds and dreams embarked on a journey as we pledged the Beta Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc @famu_1887 . We did THE thing! 💪🏾💃🏾 From that pivotal moment, we became a chosen few, charged with service as our core. Today, we’ve evolved into boss women, entrepreneurs, mothers, leaders etc…..united by our Rattler connection. Pledging BA was one of the best decision of my college days. It wasn’t perfect, but I never expected it to be. We have fostered a network, community, and everlasting bonds. Happy anniversary to my beautiful line sisters—here’s to a sisterhood that stands the test of time! 🎉🕊️ #DSTAnniversary #28YearsStrong #SisterhoodForLife #BossWomen ✨🔺

Off to Santa’s Workshop! 🎅🏾✨ #TisTheSeason #FavoriteTimeOfYear #BeMerry #GratefulAndFestive

Guess who’s rocking a fresh new cut ✂️… ME! There’s something so empowering about letting go and embracing a lighter, freer version of yourself. @misspressncurl, thank you for getting me together! ☺️✨ #NewHairNewMe #FreshCut #FeelingFree #ChangeIsMyFavoriteColor #SelfCareJourney #LightAndFree #GlowUp

Let’s just say these past two weeks have been a whirlwind—I’ve been under the weather, developed ache bronchitis and haven’t had a moment to truly slow down. Taking care of others is my calling and passion, but today, someone poured back into me in the most thoughtful way.🥰 I received the sweetest surprise: a package containing a heartfelt card, a lovely frame featuring former Miss FAMUs (with me at the center in my vintage track attire!), and a gorgeous necklace with a beautiful Delta pendant. It truly warmed my heart. It’s the little acts of kindness that make the biggest difference, and today, I was reminded of just how powerful a thoughtful gesture can be. Thank you, Chris Stukes, for making my day extra special! Your kindness means more than you know. ❤️ #Gratitude #BlessedAndHighlyFavored #DeltaSigmaTheta #FAMUForever #SmallActsBigImpact #KindnessMatters #ThankYou #MissFAMU #TrackAndFieldMemories #LoveWhatYouDo

Remembering the time when I fell in love with @famu_1887 🐍🧡🔥👑… Attending FAMU was one of the best decisions of my life, and being forever etched in my university’s history is the honor of all honors. #RememberingTheTime #FAMUHomecoming24 #ForeverMissFAMU #TrackStar #BADST

Attending @famu_1887 FAMU was one of the best decisions of my life, and being forever etched in my university’s history is the honor of all honors. I am endlessly proud of my alma mater—the memories, the bonds, the culture, and the unity that FAMU embodies. It was FAMU athletics that opened the door for me, bringing me here on a full track scholarship. FAMU didn’t just shape my journey; it expanded my horizons and prepared me to go anywhere and achieve everything. #RememberingTheTime #FAMUHomecoming24 #ForeverMissFAMU #TrackStar #BADST

A Feast for a Cause! 💯 Today was a truly inspiring and mouthwatering experience! Imagine a sea of talented Black male chefs and athletes, each showcasing their unique recipes and serving up absolutely delicious dishes. The aroma, the smiles, and the unity—👌🏾! And let me just say… there was one in particular who stood out to me—my incredibly handsome husband! (Yes, I’m a little biased, but hey, facts are facts!) 🤩These gentlemen, decked out in their aprons, gloves, and even some chef hats, were working hard for an amazing cause: scholarships! This amazing event was hosted by the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc., celebrating their 30th anniversary of Gourmet Gents! What a beautiful way to give back to the community and uplift the next generation. Hats off to these phenomenal men and the incredible women who made this happen! Now… if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be running several miles to undo the damage from all those irresistible bites! 🤦🏾‍♀️ Keep shining and serving, ladies! #GourmetGents #ScholarshipsMatter #BlackExcellence #CommunityImpact #FoodForACause #InspiringUnity #ProudWife #30YearsOfGreatness #SupportOurYouth

Remembering the time… @famu_1887 Convocation! Yep, we are still recapping! It’s was that much to download!!! Florida A&M University’s Homecoming Convocation, held every Friday before the big game, is a tradition like no other. The Lawson Center( named after Congressman Al Lawson, a former FAMU basketball player, and father of my lines sister @badst4096 🐘🔺) comes alive with electrifying energy as we honor our remarkable legacy, celebrate raising millions of dollars for the university, and cheer on our football team, student body, and returning alumni. It’s a reunion of excellence, history, and community. This is also the time when former Miss FAMUs gather to connect, inspire, and show support for the reigning queen. This year, we proudly stand behind the stunning @jwett.k Kailyn Thompson, the 118th Miss Florida Agricultural & Mechanical Univeristy. She is a General Health Science major from Fort Lauderdale. Kailyn, you embody grace, resilience, and the spirit of FAMU! To our queen 👑 : Welcome to a legacy built on strength, determination, and excellence. Stand tall. Be proud. Smile with gratitude. Remain humble, yet confident. Bask in this moment while remembering that “to whom much is given, much is required.” Love fiercely, pray always—even for those who don’t support you. Shoulders back, chin up—you are the essence of what it means to be a Rattler! We are rattled with pride, ready to strike with greatness! 🐍🧡 #FAMUHomecoming #FAMUConvocation #RattlerPride #QueenKailyn #LegacyOfExcellence #StrikeStrikeAndStrikeAgain #HBCUExcellence #WeBleedOrangeAndGreen

Don’t let the white coat 👩🏾‍⚕️ fool you! Remembering the time..🧡🐍🔥 #ForeverFAMU #fridaysoiree #FAMUHomecoming #RememberingtheTime

Remembering the time, @famu_1887 FAMU Homecoming 24’! One of my highlights? The Friday Soiree/day party! Celebrating 15 years for this legendary HC tradition—shoutout to my boy @ronsims2 and the whole team for keeping it going strong!🐍🧡🔥 But let’s talk about these highlights… 😆 I’m so FAMU and a proud Florida girl through and through! So yes, cut-offs are a must. But y’all, why did I pack a sweater dress for a day party?! 🤔 Living in Atlanta must’ve thrown me off, because that Florida sun had me switching gears quick! Thanks to my boo @jhailauren the wardrobe pivot was achieved in under 30 minutes flat 🩳😆. Celebrating 30 years with my class felt surreal. And I don’t mind that that the bartender asked the girls and I for IDs—yes, please! And the reel’s soundtrack? GloRilla’s “WHATCHU KNOW ABOUT ME?” Because 30 years later, I still feel fly. Like I just stepped out of Wheatley Hall😆 One thing about FAMU and HBCUs—you learn never to judge a book by its cover. The fierce Rattlers I know? We’re everywhere: lawyers, judges, entrepreneurs, entertainers, educators, doctors, executives, movie producers, you name it. And yes, we showed up in our hot girl and hot boy attire! We had a time, free of judgment and full of love. No one cared about a status; our wealth is rooted in our history, tradition, culture, and bonds. We laughed, cried, and danced the night away, right here where our journeys began. #ForeverFAMU #RememberingTheTime #FAMU #HomecomingMemories #RattlerPride #FloridaGirl #HBCULove #30YearsStrong #FAMUFridaySoiree #HotGirlFall #FAMULegacy #RattlerFamily #Nostalgia #UnbreakableBonds #ATLToFL

Attending a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) is not just an education, it’s an experience that shapes you into the person you are destined to be. HBCUs were born from the resilience and determination of Black communities to provide higher education when opportunities were denied. They are sanctuaries of culture, pride, and academic excellence, and the legacy they carry is one of empowerment, heritage, and limitless potential. I am incredibly proud to have graduated from @famu_1887 Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), a prestigious institution that has continuously produced outstanding leaders, scholars, and change-makers. FAMU’s rich history dates back to October 3, 1887, founded with a mission to serve the educational needs of African Americans in Florida. It is a beacon of achievement, steeped in tradition, and its alumni continue to inspire future generations. As a proud past member of the Beta Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., I hold my bond with my sisters in high esteem. The chapter was chartered January 30, 1937, and is known for its commitment to high, precise stepping and hair flips, public service, scholarship, and sisterhood. 🐘🔺 However, we must not forget the challenges that HBCUs face, particularly when it comes to funding. Many of these institutions remain underfunded, and it’s crucial that we give back to ensure their continued success and the success of the students who attend them. Investing in HBCUs means investing in our future, and I remain committed to supporting my alma mater and my sorority in every way I can. I’m so grateful for my time at FAMU, the lessons I learned, and the lifelong friendships I’ve made. And, as always, I will continue to lift as I climb.💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 I love my H in front of my B, my B in front of my C, I ❤️ my HBCU!🐍💚🧡 #HBCU #FAMU #DeltaSigmaTheta #ProudRattler #BetaAlpha #DivineNine #GiveBack #BlackExcellence #Sisterhood #Service #Legacy #Empowerment #BlackHistory

I had an incredible experience at the Master Connector event celebrating Nichole, the unstoppable @themaster_connector! From Wall Street to the streets of ATL, she’s paved her own path since moving here just two years ago. Truly inspiring work, Nichole—your vision and drive are remarkable! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 And seeing @alfredj10 was a sweet surprise. 😊 The powerhouse @drgarnerscott Dr. Nicole Garner Scott, an expert wealth advisor, brought her financial acumen to the table, ready to help others build lasting wealth. For anyone seeking financial guidance, look no further. Dr. Garner Scott has you covered! And the night wouldn’t have been complete without the presence of @yandysmith—a true BOSS with unmatched spirit, ambition, and resilience. Hearing her story, her drive, and the doors she’s broken down was so empowering. I’m grateful for the chance to connect, even briefly, with such an incredible woman. There’s something powerful about proximity and being in the room with sisters who are doing extraordinary things. Surround yourself with greatness—these women are proof of what’s possible. Let’s continue to support, inspire, and uplift one another! And make sure that when you attend the next event, tell them that Doc White sent you!🥰 #MasterConnector #InspiringWomen #BossMoves #FinancialFreedom #WomenSupportingWomen #ProximityIsPower #SistersInSuccess #ATLNetworking #Trailblazers #WealthBuilding #yournetworkisyournetworth #Network #Connect

About lastnight…there are only a few that can get me out during a week night 😆, and @themaster_connector @themasterconnectoragency is one of them! So glad I came! Great event. Great energy! And, the icing on my cake was @alfredj10 😘🥰 #yournetworkisyournetworth #Network #Connect

POV: You know your father-in-law is a living legend when he ends up as a trivia question on Jeopardy! 👊🏾💪🏾😃 In 1970, Willie Jackson Sr. made history as the first Black player for the University of Florida Gators, proudly wearing #22. Now, two generations later, his grandson, Kahleil Jackson, honors him by wearing that same number on the field. This powerful legacy has come full circle, with not only Willie Sr., but also his son Willie Jackson Jr., and my husband Terry Jackson, all carrying #22 as Gators. This legacy reminds us of the strength it takes to break barriers and pave the way for future generations. We’re beyond blessed to see their story honored and shared for generations to come! Shout out to my brother Ishmael Rentz and sis Tarcha Folston Rentz for sharing. 🧡💙 #GatorPride #ProudWifey #TheJacksonLegacyLivesOn #TheLegendOf22 #ThishappenedLastnight

Personal testimony: Defying the skeptics who told me I didn’t fit the mold for Miss FAMU became one of the most powerful turning points in my life. There were some who said I didn’t conform to their expectations— in behavior, in style. But I didn’t need to. As a scholar-athlete, and student ambassador, I embraced my womanhood and found my strength in authenticity. I realized then, and I know now, that my confidence and purpose might have made some people uncomfortable. But instead of dimming my light, I chose to shine even brighter. If I had given in to the doubters, I would have missed out on the incredible journey that followed. Becoming Miss FAMU 1998-99—standing as the 92nd Miss Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University—taught me the power of self-belief. It remains one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. To every young girl out there: Never let anyone define who you should be or tell you to shrink your dreams. Stand tall, know your worth, and always let your light shine. Glow queen glow!✨ #UnbreakableSpirit #ShineBright #NeverDimYourLight #MissFAMU9298 #StandTall #shineQueen #GlowQueen #ForeverMissFAMU👑

Big shoutout to my incredible stylist @_frenchydollface for getting me ALL the way together for FAMU’s Homecoming! She truly knows how to work her magic and have me feeling like my best self. From every curl to every sleek finish—she’s undefeated! 🥊 Nobody does it better. Let the transformation begin! ✨ #SlayedByFrenchy #FAMUHomecomingReady #Undefeated

🧡🐍 Yall, I can’t contain my excitement for FAMU’s homecoming! 🎉 I know, I say this every year…but!! 😆. It’s that one place where I truly do not care who is watching. I may be in doctor mode right now, but please wait for the transformation!!! I’m ready to feel the pulse of our amazing FAMU community! 🌟 Let’s celebrate our uniqueness and unity - because here, @famu_1887 , our heartbeat resonates as one! 🧡🐍 #FAMUHomecoming #AuthenticUnity #classreunion #ForverRattlers #ForeverMissFAMU99 #famutrackalumni #TheExperience #FAMUPride #FAMUAlumni #RoleModel #Ambassador #IamSoFAMU #Famuly #SupportFAMU #GiveBack

Standing here in front of Jones Hall @famu_1887 —the place that saw my dreams take shape, that echoed with both my laughter and my frustration—I’m reminded of how this building was the birthplace of my passion. Right here is where I fell in love with anatomy and physiology, under the guidance of the late Dr. Strickland. Let me tell y’all, he was tough. Maybe it didn’t help that I’d stroll in late some mornings😆 (I mean, who survives a 5 a.m. track workout, shows up for an 8 a.m. class, and lives to sprint again in the blazing afternoon sun? 🙋🏾‍♀️), but Dr. Strickland kept me on my toes, and I’m grateful for every single moment of it.🐍 Then, there was Dr. Bennett. Whew! Freshman year, she taught me a lesson in humility when she made me repeat biology. Yep, there I was, a full-ride track athlete who thought I could juggle it all. But that semester? It was a wake-up call. From then on, it was honor roll and Dean’s List all the way. Let’s be real🔺, going into Biology Premed isn’t just about showing up—it’s about discipline, grit, and learning to say “no” to all the fun you could be having on Fridays…well, except maybe a little time on The Set in between classes and workouts. 😆 So, if you’re ready to take on core science classes that don’t just teach but transform you; if you want professors who push you, believe in you, and care about your journey; if you’re looking for a place that’ll test you and prepare you for the health sciences field like nowhere else… look no further. FAMU will get you ready to not only chase your dreams but to conquer them. Happy Homecoming…I will see you soon!🧡🐍 #JonesHall #CollegeScienceBuilding #ProfessorsWhoCare #FloridaA&MUniversity #RattlerBred #RattlerPride #WhereItAllBegan #HealthSciences

Today marks the 28th day of breast cancer awareness month. As the second most common cancer affecting women, an estimated 1 in 8 In the U.S. women (about 13%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. If diagnosed early and treated before it spreads, five-year survival rate for breast cancer is 99 percent. Please, if you are the age of 40 years or older you should’ve at least had your first mammogram and if you are considered high risk at the age of 25 or older you definitely need to have a discussion with your primary care physician. #OctoberBreastCancerAwareness #MammogramsAt40 #ScreeningMammogramsSaveLife #SelfBreastExamsat20yearsOld #TellaFriend2TellAFriend #SelfbreastExamsAreNecessary #EarlyDetection #RaiseAwareness #WearPink4BreastCancerAwareness #RocDocsNatural #BlackFemalePhysician

Fall is my favorite time of year—the colors, the crisp air, and those moments that slow you down just enough to take it all in. During a busy week, it’s my loved ones I cherish spending time with the most. And nothing brings us together like a good fall festival! 🍁❤️🍂” #FallFavorites #FamilyTime #FestivalFun #Familyovereverything #CherishedMoments #MakingMemories

And then there was King Solomon, my firstborn. When I asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween, he simply said, ‘Since I’m a king, I might as well dress the part.’ You better know your worth, twin! 😀👑👊🏾💪🏾 #KingSolomon #KnowYourWorth #HalloweenRoyalty #ProudMama #FirstBorn

Most of you know my story… the one where I delayed my fertility journey, choosing to pursue my dreams and wait for God’s perfect timing. Becoming a mother was a dream, too, and I prayed that if God blessed me with children, I’d cherish them and strive to show them the same love and life my parents showed me. And here she is—my surprise baby, all dressed up, wings and all. Looking at her, I’m reminded of God’s goodness and the beauty of trusting His plans. 💖✨ #TrustInGodsTiming #SurpriseBaby #GratefulHeart #FaithfulJourney #BlessedMama #GodsGoodness

This Halloween/fall season, my little one transformed back into the fairy princess she once was as a newborn—only now, her wings and smile have grown so much bigger! Watching her excitedly put on her costume for the fall festival brought back all those sweet memories. It’s amazing how one day they’re your tiny babies, and then you blink, and they’re soaring before your eyes. Moments like these are so fleeting, just beautiful pieces of time, reminding us why each one is worth treasuring. Continue to soar, sweet fairy princess! #FairyPrincessMagic #GrowingWings #MomentsToCherish #HalloweenMemories #FallFestivalFun #ForeverMyBaby #LittleBigGirl #MakingMemories #CherishEveryMoment

Honoring the legacy of my great aunt, Civil Rights Activist Barbara L. Higgins! 👊🏾 As we kick off early voting, let’s remember the powerful contributions of women like Aunt Barbara, who fought for equality, justice, and our right to vote. This past weekend, the Sugarhill reunion parade concluded at the Barbara Higgins Park, where Solomon and Onar marveled at their great-great aunt’s enduring legacy. Barbara L. Higgins made history as the first Black woman to work professionally in the Alachua County Courthouse and served as Deputy Supervisor of Elections for 30 years. Her dedication helped pave the way for equal employment opportunities and access to the ballot. Even after retirement, Aunt Barbara continued her mission by volunteering at the Elections Office and the Alachua County Clerk’s Office, further solidifying her commitment to our community. Her work lives on through the Barbara L. Higgins Legacy Corp., aimed at closing gaps in education, health, and economic disparities for minority youth and families. This election, let’s honor those who paved the way for all of us, by making our voices heard. Women can lead, serve, and we can VOTE! Make sure to vote early—our history and future depend on it! #VoteEarly #BarbaraHigginsLegacy #HonorThePast #ShapeTheFuture #WomensVotingRights

For the last several years, the Sugarhill community in Gainesville, FL, has come together to host the annual Sugarhill Reunion, celebrating both current and former residents. This gathering not only honors the living but also serves as a memorial for those who have passed on. The tradition has grown to include a parade, a spirited addition that kicks off the reunion celebrations. This year holds special significance for my family, as my parents were invited to serve as Grand Marshalls of the parade. This honor is especially meaningful to my father, Albert White, who grew up in the Sugarhill community. He spent his childhood in the two-story house that still stands prominently on the corner of Springhill. His grandparents, Albert and Annie Higgins, owned the home, and below it, my great-grandfather operated a store—one of the few Black-owned businesses in Gainesville and Alachua County at the time. His entrepreneurial spirit was a cornerstone of the community, and it’s a legacy that continues to inspire. A special thanks to the Sugarhill Reunion Committee for organizing yet another incredible event, filled with nostalgia, joy, and pride for the history we all share. Hats off to all for making this celebration unforgettable! #SugarhillReunion #GainesvilleFL #CommunityLegacy #FamilyHeritage #BlackExcellence #GrandMarshalls #SugarhillHistory #ProudMoment #HonoringThePast #CelebratingCommunity #BlackBusinessLegacy #AncestralPride #HatsOffToSugarhill #SpringhillCommunity #FamilyTradition

He believed he could, and he did! 👑 Solomon, our King of Kindness, was crowned 2nd grade homecoming king! We are so proud of him, not just for the title, but for leading with heart, kindness and soul. Whether it’s big or small, we’re behind him every step of the way.

Solomon had a vision for his homecoming dance—he requested a suit that shined, and as his mom, I had to deliver! 😄 Onar and I were honored to be his dates for the evening, cheering him on as he took on the night in style. Moments like these are the memories we cherish. #HomecomingCourt #FamilyFirst #ShineBright #ProudMom #SupportOurKids #KingOfKindness #ParentingMoments #SolomonsJourney #MakingMemories

Y’all, homecoming courts in elementary school? 🤦🏾‍♀️ Yep, it’s a thing here in Atlanta! When my son Solomon said he was interested, of course, I had to support him. His dad, being the focused dad he is, made sure to emphasize academics first, which I completely understand and agree with. But before moving forward, I wanted to explore Solomon’s “why.” He said one of his mentors believed he’d be a good example for his school. He said, I do my work well, make good grades, show respect to my teachers and classmates, and I do my best to show kindness to others. He added, “It’s not nice for people to be bullies; school should be a place where kids feel safe.” I was locked in and loaded at that moment. He is one of the smallest and youngest in his 2nd grade class. But boy is he mighty. 💡 And just like that, Vote Solomon: King of Kindness and Cool Moves was born! And we had one weekend to pull it together. 🤦🏾‍♀️ No dream is too big or too small. We’ve got our children’s backs, win or lose in all things. We just want them to have positive experiences, to believe in themselves and to know anything is possible. Ehat doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger. Continue to walk in faith Solomon…Gods got you. A special thanks to auntie @kailyamali for helping to bring our concept to life!

Solomon is truly my sonshine ☀️. From his first few weeks in the NICU to becoming the outgoing, kind-hearted, and confident young boy he is today, I’m beyond blessed to watch him grow. His love for life, learning, and his momma & daddy shines through every day. We encourage him to walk in confidence, lead with kindness, and always strive to be the best version of himself. I’m so proud to be your mom, Solomon—you make my heart overflow. 💛✨ #NationalSonsDay #ProudMom #Sonshine #NICUWarrior #Confidence #KindHearted #Blessed #RaisingKings #LoveYouAlways

Happy National Daughter’s Day to my fierce, fabulous, and beautifully sassy mini me! She’s determined to rule the world with her independence, and I still can’t believe this amazing little human is all mine. Watching her grow has been one of my greatest joys! 💕👑 #MyMiniMe #NationalDaughtersDay #OneOfMyGreatestBlessings #HerMother #GirlPower #MyDancingDoll🥰

Before the clock strikes midnight, I want to wish my amazing Auntie a joyous and blessed 80th birthday! This weekend, family traveled from near and far to honor her at the beautiful Eaton beach, a hidden gem nestled just outside Marion County, Florida. We had the entire outdoor space to ourselves, creating the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable celebration. We also celebrated my uncle Kelly’s birthday…he turned 79!🙏🏾 As always, we show up and show out to support one another on every occasion, big or small. For the love of family is truly a precious and priceless gift, one we cherish and never take for granted. Call and tell a family member that you haven’t spoken to in a while, that you love them. 🙏🏾 #80andFabulous #FamilyFirst #Celebrate

This weekend, I was overjoyed to reconnect with my beautiful linesisters to celebrate our #21. Sunday was packed from the start—whipping up breakfast for the kids on the go before church, coming home to make dinner, and without missing a beat, heading out to CRU Food and Wine. I pulled up and parked with excitement… only to realize I was at the wrong location! 🤦🏾‍♀️ There I was, standing in Alpharetta when I was supposed to be at the Battery. The bartender, seeing my flustered state, offered me a glass of Prosecco on the house. I took a single sip, refocused, and set out for the correct spot. It was a reminder that sometimes we’re moving so fast we miss the signs telling us to slow down. But even with a 30-minute detour, I refused to let anything keep me from showing up for the ones who matter most. My linesisters and I have made it a priority to be present for each other, especially when it comes to celebrating milestones. By the time I got home that evening, I was absolutely toast. But somehow, I found the energy to take my kids to the park, water the plants, do some charting, squeeze in a workout, and get everyone ready for the week ahead. It’s in moments like these that I realize nurturing and investing in relationships is a true form of currency. The returns? Priceless. Cheers to sisterhood, friendship, and making time for the things that fill us up, keep us grounded, and bring balance to this beautiful, busy life. ❤️🙏🏾 Happy Birthday C. Goode!!! We love you! 🔺🐘 #FAMURattlers4Life #BADST #LineSisters #GetIntoFormation #OrangeAndGreen #WeBraggDifferent #crimsonandcreme #DeltaWomen #Celebrationoflife #sisterhood #Scholarship #Service

It’s my besties @therealaprilraquelmusic birthday today!!!! And I am overflowing with love and gratitude for this beautiful soul! From college roommates, track buddies, to being next door neighbors for over 7 years...we are truly inseparable in heart and spirit. Since my freshmen year on the Hill, she has been one of my aces, ride or dies and our bond has deepened over the years. I’m so blessed that I get to call her my sister. Help me celebrate her today—she deserves all the love and joy this world has to offer. Happy, happy birthday Pooh! I love you to pieces! 😘💕 #HappyBirthdayPooh #MyGirl #Mysister #OurTribe #bestiesforlife

Before you toss that old rug from the deck or porch, consider power washing it! I’m all about DIY and beautification projects, but I nearly threw away outdoor rugs worth over $500. Thankfully, my husband suggested I power wash them first. From dirty and dingy to clean and looking brand new! Here are 3 quick DIY tips: 1. Power Wash Before You Trash: Always try a good cleaning before replacing items—power washing works wonders on rugs, some furniture, decks and patios. 2. Use Natural Cleaners: Combine a mild detergent with vinegar for tough stains—it’s eco-friendly and effective. I use this pretreat stains often. 3. Seal the Deal: After cleaning, apply a protective sealant to outdoor items to keep them looking fresh longer! Here are some examples of protective sealants that are my go tos to keep outdoor items looking fresh: 1. Thompson’s WaterSeal – Ideal for wood surfaces. It helps prevent mildew and UV damage. 2. Scotchgard Water & Sun Shield – Perfect for protecting outdoor furniture cushions, rugs, and fabrics from water, sun fading, and stains. 3. Rust-Oleum NeverWet – it is multi-surface liquid-repellent. I used it to revitalize some pool deck tables made of metal. elements. 4. 303 Fabric Guard – Specially designed for outdoor fabrics, this sealant helps maintain water repellency while protecting against UV rays and stains. I hope these DYI tips help and save you money like they do for me! 🥰 LOVE, Doc White Your Lifestyle Doc #DIYHomeProjects #UpcycleTips #OutdoorRugRefresh #PowerWashingMagic #BeforeAndAfter

Act like you got on some skates! 🛼 The hubby and I couldn’t wait to introduce the kids to some classic Atlanta skating culture! We laced up our skates and hit the rink, showing them how we used to roll back in the day 😆. Turns out, we still got it! 😎🔥 Skating isn’t just a pastime; it’s a vibe, a workout, and a whole lot of fun! Watching the kids get into the groove was everything. Parenthood is all about passing down the joys, and this one was a blast! 🛼✨ ##TheJoysofParenthood #ActLikeYouGotOnSomeSkates #StillAFloridaGirl #AtlantaSkateCulture #MyBrothersAnthem #WeLoveSkating #GreatCoreExercise #LaborDayWeekendOwesUsNothing #JacksonFamilyFun

🎉🥇 Solomon’s 7th Birthday Olympics was another sweet memory for the books! We had an awesome time celebrating our little guy. His smile, the love, cheers, and all the gold medals made it a day to remember! 🏅✨ #Highlights #SolomonTurns7 #OlympicTheme #vintage2017 #Thememories #LiveEachMomentLikeItsYourLast #ShowLove #GiveLove #FamilyFirst #myeverything

Phew… we did it! Despite what felt like an impossible week, my husband and I pulled off something truly special. When I set my mind to something, there’s no stopping me! After less than 2 weeks of planning, we brought Solomon’s 7th birthday to life with an Olympic theme, complete with a touch of electoral flair. (We must teach them young about the importance of voting) As a mother balancing a demanding career, I’ve learned that while the challenges are real, my children are always the priority. Creating memories like this is what it’s all about. The party may have been small, with just a few of Solomon’s classmates and some family, but it was filled with joy and laughter. We kicked things off with an opening ceremony, followed by friendly competitions like egg racing, ring tossing, and sack racing. The kids recharged at the hydration station, and we wrapped it all up with cake, ice cream, and a closing ceremony where, of course, everyone went home with a gold medal. No batons were dropped, and every moment was worth it. I’m incredibly grateful to the classmates who came through on such short notice—you made Solomon’s day! A huge thank you to Auntie Monique Driskell Reynolds for showing up for Solomon, Auntie Kaiyla for your invaluable help with the party, Nana,auntie Carol Long White uncle Mark, auntie Bridgette, Godmommy @nickkiglover and auntie Leola and to Latracia, Ray, and my beautiful goddaughters Lauren, Hannah, and Tomecia for making the day even more special. Now, I can finally take that much-needed rest, knowing that the most important thing—my children’s happiness—remains at the heart of everything I do. 💖 #SolomonTurns7 #OlympicTheme #electoralFlair #openingCeremony #ClosingCeremony #Family1st

No matter what…he will always be my baby. Happy Birthday Solomon! 🎂🎈 #SolomonTurns7 #mamasboy #Vintage2017 #olympictheme #family1st #MyJoy

Yall, it’s my baby 7th birthday today! And let’s just say he is feeling himself!🎂 Let’s go Solomon! #Happy7thBirthday #MommasBoy #OlympicTheme #ElectoralSeason #HeIsFeelingHimself

For me, there’s no greater love than family. This weekend, my God sister (more like blood) and I celebrated our incredible mother’s 78th birthday. Originally, she planned to have a quiet celebration at home with my dad. But when Michelle said she was coming to town and that they wanted to barbecue, my mom, in her true giving spirit, decided to turn it into a celebration with her dear friends who also have August birthdays. That’s just who she is—always thinking of others, always full of love.❤️ It turned into a beautiful gathering of love, laughter, and gratitude. We were blessed to celebrate with other August babies like Darryl Johnson, Margie Pernell, Auntie Charmaine, Ruth DeSue, Mary Mosley, and Debbie Danzy. What started as a simple idea became a joyful party that came together in less than two weeks, all because of my mom’s generous heart. Michelle, you really surprised me with that serenade, and it made the day even more special. My mother is the heart and soul of our family—the best thing that has ever happened to us. #FamilyLove #78YearsYoung #BlessedAndGrateful #FamilyFirst #BirthdayCelebration #LoveAndJoy #CherishedMoments #FamilyIsEverything

Yall, I’m just like my mother, full of life and energy…keep watching! 😍😆🥰 Our family lives for surprises, and this weekend was nothing short of magical as we celebrated my mother’s birthday. She was overjoyed when her brother, Uncle James, and Auntie Althea made the trip from Lakeland, Florida, and then Auntie Leola and her daughter Nickki surprised her, traveling from Jacksonville. My mother didn’t think they could make it, but what she didn’t realize is that our family will move mountains for one another. Because when you’re family, distance is just a detail, and love knows no bounds. We’ve got you, birthday girl! Your happiness is our greatest gift. ❤️ #SweetSurprise #BirthdayGirl #FamilyIsEverything #TheTieThatBinds #UnbreakableBonds

She shares the nucleus of our family, is a spiritual warrior and her giving heart, love and selfless attitude provides comfort and strength for many... Happy birthday mom!!!🥰 please help me to wish our mom Ora White a happy birthday!!! #BirthdayeeCelebration #Memories #Love #Honor #FineAsWine

I just love what I do and I get joy when I think about it!👩🏾‍⚕️🥼🥰 #beyourownkindofbeautiful #thejoysofmedicine #BlackFemalePhysician #LovewhatYoudo

Never judge a book by its cover. Just today, I walked into a room, and a patient asked, “Where is the doctor?” 👩🏾‍⚕️🥼 My reply? “I am she, and she is me,” I said with a smile. Often, we carry our own biases and stereotypes about what we think something or someone should be or look like. But I’ve learned to never underestimate people and their abilities. In honor of Self-Awareness Month, let’s strive to be more self-aware. We come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. It’s crucial to keep an open mind and embrace the diversity around us. My light is too bright to fit into anyone’s box. I walk to the beat of my own drum and twirl to spread all the joy and love in my heart. I am proud to be different and to serve. So let me exit the room, and come back in so we can try this again 😄. Have a great day, beautiful people. Love, Doc White

Yesterday was back to school 📚for Solomon and Onar. Solomon is now in 2nd grade, and Onar is in Pre-K. Parenthood is a journey that constantly reminds us to be present because time truly flies. It feels like just yesterday when they were taking their first steps, and now they’re stepping into new grades, full of excitement and potential. Although I couldn’t be there with the kiddos, I am thankful and grateful to have such a supportive husband who fills the gaps when I’m unable to. We make a great team, and we are deeply thankful to God for His guidance. 🙏🏾 We wish all the kids a wonderful school year, supporting their dreams, growth, and education, and keeping them safe. Solomon and Onar, be who you are destined to be. Praying for an awesome year ahead. #BackToSchool #SupportTheirDreams #GrowthAndEducation #KeepingThemSafe #BlackBoyJoy #CherishTheMoments #ParenthoodJourney #ThankfulForFamily

Back to school is here! 📕 📚As we prepare our children for another school year, we embrace their growth and support their dreams and education. When raising a Black son 👦🏽, there are many things we pray over them about…making it home safe, rising above stereotypes, and the prayer that despite what the media may say about many of our Black men and boys, they are wonderfully made in the eyes of God and deserve all good things. I knew this would be the year we did the big chop ✂️ …or so I thought. Solomon has been growing his hair since birth. Recently, we cut about 3-4 inches, but his hair grows like a weed. He does NOT like getting his hair done but loves the length of his hair🙄. So, I said, if you don’t want people parting and detangling your hair, then it’s time for a big boy haircut. He said, no…mom, I would like to try a Mohawk-like style. So we did, and here we are. Solomon, we don’t want you to try to be anything else but who you are destined to be. Since your haircut, I noticed that your walk is a bit taller and bolder. We wish all the kids a wonderful school year, supporting their dreams, growth, and education, and keeping them safe.🙏🏾 #BackToSchool #SupportTheirDreams #GrowthAndEducation #KeepingThemSafe #BlackBoyJoy #MohawkStyle

All I’m trying to say is, I thank you.💯 To everyone who prayed for me, offered an encouraging word, or believed in me as I pursued a career in medicine, I am deeply grateful. And to those who didn’t, that’s okay too. We must remember that no one can truly stand in our way; often, it’s ourselves who need to clear the path and let God lead.🙏🏾 Congratulations to all the Top Doctors recognized for 2024! It was incredibly inspiring to be in the room with some of Atlanta’s best. Keep up the amazing work! #ThankYou #TopDoctors2024 #AtlantaTopDoctors2024 #inspirational #HumblyBlessed

He’s the Real MVP ✨ Significant others who support your dreams, rather than hinder them, are invaluable. He was never intimidated by my success but celebrated it.

Just a girl from Gainesville, FL, striving to make a difference through advocating, educating, and empowering. I’m honored to be named a Top Doctor 2024 by Atlanta Magazine. This recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion I pour into my practice every day. From the age of 5, I dreamed of making a meaningful impact on people’s lives. I believe everyone, regardless of background, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or political affiliation, deserves the highest quality care. This honor reminds me that treating people with dignity, respect, and excellence truly matters. Thank you to my family, friends, colleagues, and patients for your unwavering support and trust. Together, we are making a difference, one patient at a time. To all the dreamers out there, remember that no matter where you come from, you have the power to make a difference. Keep striving, keep believing, and keep pushing forward. The best is yet to come! #TopDoctor2024 #AdvocateEducateEmpower #QualityCareForAll #DreamBig #GainesvillePride #KeepPushingForward

He Does It Again…🙏🏾 Guess who’s being recognized as Top Doctor 2024 by Atlanta Magazine? Yours truly. 😊 I guess you could say, this has become one of my equivalents to a Grammy or an Oscar lol! It’s truly a blessing to know that my work and the care I provide are noted. I don’t do what I do for the accolades, but I’ve learned to accept these recognitions with humility and grace. It’s not easy for me to be on the receiving end; I’m usually the one giving. But today, I will embrace it. I believe wholeheartedly that when you put in the effort to treat people well, strive for excellence, and give your best in all you do, you will see positive results. The energy we put out into the universe often returns to us in kind. I didnt have to shrink; or change. My journey in primary care, particularly advocating for Black and Brown populations who experience racial disparities and inequalities, has shown me that quality care is not always a given, especially for the underserved. As long as I am here and have breath in my body, I will strive to make patients feel better by treating them like the beautiful human beings they are, providing quality care, partnering , listening, and advocating for them. To anyone out there with a dream in their heart or a goal they’re striving to achieve, know that if you put your best foot forward and pursue it with genuine heart and faith, it shall come to pass. Don’t be discouraged by what others say you can or cannot do. You can do all things through God. It may not be easy, but it was never intended to be. For whom much is given, much is required. So keep going. If you fall, get up, dust yourself off, and try again. The best is yet to come.✨ 💯 #HeDoesItAgain #4yearsStraight #TopDoctors2024 #AtlantaTopDoctor #QualityPatientCare #HumblyBlessed

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes, the phone calls and the text messages…all so thoughtful! As I reflect on the years gone by, I realize how much I’ve grown. Prayerfully, I feel even better than I did at 21. The things that seemed so important back then don’t hold the same weight now. I find true solace in the simple things: the laughter of loved ones, the warmth of family gatherings, and the quiet moments of reflection. My family is my source of strength and the loves of my life. Every day with them is a blessing, and I cherish these moments more than anything. To all of my fellow July babies…here’s to us celebrating the beauty of life, the joy of family, and the wisdom that comes with age. 🌟💖 #CancerSeason #BirthdayBlessings #ReflectAndGrow #FamilyFirst #SimpleJoys #GratefulHeart #BlessedBeyondMeasure #CherishEveryMoment

It’s my birthday suit! Cheers to another year of celebrating life, the essence of being a woman and living out loud! And a special thank you goes to my bestie @therealaprilraquelmusic photography for helping to make my birthday extra special. I love you to the moon and back! 🥰 **I do not own the rights to this music** #Birthdaysuit #CelebrateLife #LoveEveryOunceofYou #FlawsAndAll

Every year, I celebrate my birthday with a tradition: a bathing suit photo shoot to capture the evolution of how my body has changed over the years. From the hips and curves I inherited post-babies, I’ve embraced every ounce of me. And I forewarn you…if I make it to 90 (God willing), you can bet my AI caretaker that I’m still gonna be posing and posting! 📸😆 Here’s to another year of celebrating life, the essence of being a woman and living out loud!

As my birthday approaches in 2 days, I’m reminded of the importance of investing in myself. Sweating it out in my workout clothes, I’m committed to feeling and looking my best as I age. Remember, taking care of your body is an act of self-love that pays lifelong dividends. Stay committed, stay strong! #InvestInYou #HealthyAging #BirthdayMotivation #SelfCare #CommitmentToFitness

It’s our anniversary! ✨Today, we are celebrating love and commitment. I’ve known him since middle school, and we became best friends over 25+ years ago. In this moment of transparency, I want it to be known that when I prayed for God to send me a God-fearing man who would honor and uplift his wife and family, I was also clear about wanting that man to love me for who I am. I prayed for someone who wouldn’t try to change me, silence my voice, control me, come between family, be jealous of me and my relationships, be insecure or try to compete with me. I’ve seen all of that before and wanted no part of it. 🙏🏾 So I say, thank you, Lord, for answering my prayers and giving me the strength to be patient and wait on you. You knew it would take a special man to deal with ALL of me. Thank you to my amazing husband for seeing me and loving me just the way I am, flaws and all. Here’s to us, to our journey, and to many more years of love and happiness.🎊🙏🏾 #HappyAnniversary #Anniversary #celebratinglove #Joy #Faithfulness #WaitOnHim #Blacklove #blackbride #Blackbride1998 #HisTimingIsPerfect #AndWeAreImperfectlyPerfectTogether

Our love is like a black and white photo—classic, timeless, and beautifully simple. In a world full of color and chaos, we find our peace and clarity in each other. Every moment we share is like a cherished snapshot. Happy Anniversary to us!🙏🏾😊 #ClassicLove #TimelessBond #AnniversaryLove #ForeverUs #EnduringLove #blacklove #blackbride #blackbride1998

It’s official – cancer season is here! 🎂🙌🏾✨ And just like that... my birthday is coming up in 11 days, if God willing. As I reflect on the years gone by, I realize how much I’ve grown.

As the Essence Festival @essencefest approaches, I just had to take a trip down memory lane. This day, four years ago, I was recognized by ESSENCE magazine @essence as an Essential Hero and was the proud recipient of the Essence Amazing Grace Award 2020! At that time, I was a pregnant physician in my third trimester, deeply concerned about putting our unborn child at risk during a global pandemic. It was truly one of the scariest times of my life... But God! I channeled my fear into faith and continued to work and serve patients as long as I could. That is what I took an Oath to do. Never did I imagine I would be recognized by one of my favorite childhood magazines for doing something I feel called to do. This journey in medicine has been a delightful ride, continually surpassing some of my wildest dreams. Never put limits on a limitless God, and I am forever grateful to the ride-or-die twins, Delacia Unique Tolbert @dladyphotography and Latracia Tolbert Brite @livingabritelife , who nominated me. 😊🤗😊 And huge shout out goes to my sis Melissa Mitchell @abeillecreations who ensured that might garments radiated bright, like my spirit. ✨ #EssenceMagazine #AmazingGraceAward #HaveFaith #ProudMoments #EssenceGirl #PrimaryCarePhysician #EssentialHero #ExcellenceWithCaring #BlackFemalePhysician #FrontLineWorker #Supported #Loved #Respected #Appreciated #AnotherDreamRealized

From how it went (dropping the kids off in Florida with the grands) to how it’s going! 😊 These kiddos have been having an absolute blast with their cousins, uncles, and Granny. This morning, they woke up bright and early to shuck corn – I had to correct them when they said they were peeling it! 😆 Solomon, ever the protective big brother, rode with his sister on the back of the horse while horse back riding. How granny keeps up with all of her grands…we will never know. She deserves an award 🏆🥇– she is simply amazing.🤩 There’s something truly special about kids spending time with their elders. They learn about their history and traditions, gaining insight into who they are and where they come from. These moments are precious and irreplaceable, and they will cherish these memories for the rest of their lives. We are so grateful for the lessons being learned: working for what we eat, valuing family above all, and being open to exploring new experiences. Needless to say, so far, so good! 🙏🏾 #FamilyFun #GratefulHeart #NewExperiences #FamilyFirst #CherishTheMoments #SummerFun #ItTakesAVillage #Grandparentsarethebest❤️

Family…the sunshine of my life. 🌞✨ As we age, so do our parents. That’s why we make a conscious effort to spend as much time as we can with them. We understand that life is fleeting, and I’m sure many of us feel it. The loss of loved ones seems to happen more often and closer to home. We’ve lost some wonderful people, reminding us of the importance of living in the moment. On our annual family vacation this year, we coordinated a family photo, all wearing shades of pink. Lord knows it was hot, but we persevered because we were capturing memories with the matriarchs of our family, spanning three generations. It’s these moments of togetherness that truly matter. Family will always be first for me. Cherish the moments and live in them fully. Make memories that last a lifetime and focus on the here and now. 🌸 🙏🏾 #FamilyFirst #CherishTheMoment #LiveInTheNow #AnnualFamilyVacation #prayerfullynotourlast

Family…that is what I hold on to 🙏🏾 Being surrounded by loved ones and family is what truly matters in the end. As we navigate life with aging parents and cope with the constant loss of cherished ones, we begin to understand just how temporary our time on this earth is. Capturing moments, living fully in them, and protecting our joy and peace of mind becomes vital. If you want to know what fuels my spirit, it’s my beautiful family. I am so grateful we were able to make our annual family vacation happen, and I pray it won’t be our last. These moments are precious beyond words. 🙏🏾 #FamilyFirst #CherishEveryMoment #GratefulHeart #HoldOntoYourFamily

Hello fam, it’s your lifestyle doc, Dr. Candace White ✨ I just had to drop in with a little reminder! If you hadn’t noticed, I post a lot about family and finding balance in our daily lives—because that’s an area I needed to improve myself. Today, I returned from a much-needed long vacation, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. We must make efforts to prioritize “me time,” self-care, and vacation. I feel rested, rejuvenated, and more focused than I did before I left. 🙏🏾✨ So, check in with me😃—who has planned their self-care days, taken days off just to rest, or booked their vacations, are on vacation or have already returned? This will surely help us de-stress and avoid burnout. Making your health a priority is mandatory. Don’t let the day-to-day hustle and bustle get in the way. Take care of yourselves, and remember, your well-being matters! #SelfCare #Balance #FamilyFirst #PreventBurnout #VacationTime #HealthyLiving #PrioritizeYou

Our babies are off for summer…#ParentsGoneWild 👨🏾👨🏾😆🚗💨 At first, I thought, “What am I going to do with my two precious babies gone, visiting their grandparents for the summer?” And then I remembered the spa date I’ve postponed three times, the date night that didn’t happen due to a late night of work and an ear infection, and the daily drop-offs and pick-ups that are now on pause. Suddenly, I realized...child, you better take this time to reflect, relax, and understand that these precious moments with their grandparents are priceless. We’ve lost so many wonderful people, and these babies need to soak up some history, tradition, and love from the matriarchs of their family. Then my husband and I fled to the car like we were escaping from Alcatraz! 🚗💨 😆 I don’t know if we’ll handle how quiet it will be, and we’ll miss the morning greetings with hugs and prayers...but I think we’ll survive. 💆🏾‍♀️👨🏾🥂 #WontHedoit #MomAndDadTime #SummerWithGrandparents #SpaDay #DateNight #PeaceAndQuiet #FamilyLove #GrandparentLove #MakingMemories #ParentsGoneWild

Before the day ends, I just had to take a moment to celebrate my incredible husband, the father of our wonderful children. He is our King👑 , and he treats me like his royal queen. Today, I was filled with joy as I watched him at the beach, then at the pool, where he became the coach and cheerleader for the kids at the resort. He led them in games and friendly competitions with such enthusiasm and care. I am deeply grateful for the love he pours into our family and how he shows up consistently, never wavering in his commitment. The sacrifices he makes do not go unnoticed. He could easily choose a different path, but he remains a constant, loving force in our lives. I pray that God continues to bless him and all fathers, keeping them healthy, protected, and safe. May they always have the strength and wisdom to lead their families with love and grace. Happy Father’s Day to our King, With all our love, your Queen, Prince, and Princess. 👑 #HappyFathersDayBaby #Ourking #MyHusbandIsAmazing #TrulyBlessed

I have said time and time again, that I am who I am because of the love and support of my parents and especially my fathers love. Because of my father, I know what a real man looks like and how he should love his wife and children. He has been there at every important moment & milestone in our life... I am proud to make him proud. And more importantly, I am proud to call him my daddy!!! I love you daddy!! #FathersDay #HonoringFathersLove #GuidingLight #HappyFathersDay #MyFirstLove #BigPoppa #LoverOfLifeAndService

When choosing your healthcare provider, you should feel seen, heard, and supported. What I love the most about my job is caring for families, advocating for patients, and empowering them with information that helps them prevent and fight off illnesses. If the shoe doesn’t fit, it’s time to get a new pair. I feel honored that God created me for this. 5 Tips to Select Your Best Fit Primary Care Physician Check Credentials and Experience: Ensure your primary care physician is board-certified and has the necessary experience, especially in areas relevant to your health needs. Consider Communication Style: Choose a physician who listens to you, answers your questions clearly, and makes you feel comfortable discussing your concerns. Look for Accessibility: Make sure the doctor’s office location, hours, and availability fit your schedule and that they offer easy ways to communicate, like through a patient portal and telemedicine visit options. Seek Recommendations: Ask family, friends, and other healthcare professionals for recommendations. Patient reviews and testimonials can also provide valuable insights. Trust Your Instincts: Ultimately, trust your gut feeling. If you feel a strong connection and trust in the physician’s ability to care for you, that’s a good sign you’ve found the right fit. Remember, your primary care physician should be a trusted partner in your health journey. Don’t settle for anything less. #YourFavoritePCP #TheSoulInMedicine #YourHealthMatters #YouMatter #PartnerWithYourDoctor #Advocate #Educate #Empower

Embracing Transparency: A Journey Through Physician Burnout In the whirlwind of a demanding career, I found myself caught in the eye of a storm called burnout. The relentless rise of my patient panel and the ever-mounting administrative burden left me feeling drained, my time slipping away like sand through my fingers. It was in the midst of this chaos that I experienced my first burn in 2023. Reflecting back, I realized how my relentless pursuit of professional success had overshadowed the other facets of life. But life has a way of gently nudging us towards what truly matters. For me, it was the realization that there was more to life than just ambitious goals and career milestones. It was about finding joy in the simple moments, the laughter shared with loved ones, and the fulfillment of nurturing dreams beyond the confines of the workplace. I discovered that combating physician burnout required a holistic approach. It wasn’t just about taking time off for vacation but taking more days off for investing in self-care and finding solace in activities that nourish the soul. I began prioritizing quality time with my family more consistently, nurturing hobbies that brought me joy (I.e gym dates, audio books, juicing, trying new plant based recipes, golfing with my 2 kings) etc…and allowing myself to unplug from the demands of the world. One of the most transformative experiences has been involving my family in gardening. Together, we’ve planted flower beds, tended to fruit trees, and rejuvenated our lawn. Through the dirt and sweat, we’ve found a connection to the earth and to each other. Watching our projects grow and evolve has been a testament to the power of shared experiences and the beauty of creation. In the midst of life’s chaos, it’s essential to carve out moments of stillness and joy. Remember, self-care isn’t selfish—it’s a necessary investment in our well-being. So, take the time to nurture your passions, cultivate meaningful connections, and embrace the beauty of life’s simple pleasures.

Solomon, the youngest in his class, started grade school at 4 years old, and I couldn’t help but question if he was truly ready. Yet, as the journey unfolded, it became clear – he was more than prepared. Sometimes, we just need to trust in God’s guidance and give space for growth. And oh, how beautifully he’s blossomed! 🌱✨ #TrustTheJourney #GodsGuidance #ProudParent #heisbetterthangood

Reflecting on this journey, I used to question if you were prepared, being a year younger than your peers. Yet, your heart is vast, and your determination boundless. Now, here we stand – you, achieving the highest honors, mastering dual language, and radiating light in all you do! Keep shining bright, Solomon. We appreciate your effort and will to succeed. Your resilience and hard work inspire us all. ✨ #ProudParent #AchievementUnlocked #BrightFuture
