Ep 5: Losing the Battle to Win the War — Chasing the American Dream
Dr. Emmanuel Ohuabunwa was bullied for his accent as a Nigerian immigrant. He went on to become the first Black male valedictorian at Johns Hopkins, then earned both an M.D. and MBA from Yale.
Now an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at UT Southwestern, his story is one of resilience, restraint, and purpose — and a powerful listen for anyone who's ever felt unseen or questioned their belonging.

Your Host
Ehis Akhetuamhen
I moved to the U.S. at 17 with $150 in my pocket and an African accent I was afraid would make people doubt my ideas.
From KPMG to Goldman Sachs to Google, every client call and every room I walked into chipped away at that fear.
Now I host Unmuted Moments to tell the stories I wish someone had told me — and to help you find yours.
