Who's Haywood? Path to Leadership: I Am NO Jackie Robinson.

Abstract

Having been afforded many opportunities throughout my academic career, I took on the challenges that chronicled my path to leadership. In many instances, I was the first person of color to enter that educational and leadership environment. I am grateful to many mentors who have guided and supported me over the 4 decades since the time of my residency through fellowships and the various institutions to which I have been affiliated. It continues to be a great journey, making a contribution to the Ob Gyn academic community and advocating for quality and equitable women's health care.
