About our Hosts:

·       Sitting down to listen to Dr. Leah, Dr. Courtney, and Dr. Sylvia of 3 friends TALK is like sitting down to have a conversation with your girlfriends. It feels familiar, those precious moments we all treasure with our best friends —over coffee or cocktails. 

·       Armed with their credentials and over 30 years of combined in-the-field experience, these three pharmacists, working in non-traditional roles, are your go-to for healthcare conversations, with a twist. The show is centered around science-based truths presented in a relatable way. No fancy medical jargon here but plain and clear language, making potentially life-saving information easily digestible for anyone and everyone. 

·       3 friends TALK is rooted in the culture. The show was created by three southern women forever bonded through their HBCU education at Xavier University. Additionally, 3 friends TALK is grounded in sisterhood; a bond made stronger through each doctor's commitment to her sorority; Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta, Inc., and Zeta Phi Beta, Inc. 

·       The goal of 3 friends TALK is to share the truth about physical and mental health with communities of color in a fun and engaging way, ensuring that listeners learn, know, apply, and share.
