Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome, and we are in the last couple of days of women's history

month. But as you know, on all my platforms, every day is women's history, every day is black

history, every day is Kwanza. Every day we celebrate

greatness in all forms. But today I wanted to say a special thank you to the life lived by Dr.

Barbara Ross Lee. This is going to be a couple of days of barbara's. Tomorrow will be Barbara

Jordan. Today it is Dr. Barbara Ross Lee. Pioneering figure. I'm going to break down all of the things that she has done in this discussion that I

had with her.

But what's really ironic is last week was the birthday of her younger sister whose name

is Diana Ross.

Okay.

So in the Ross family, we got Diana Ross and we got Dr. Barbara Rossley, who the eldest of those six

children went on to break all kinds of bounds. And it was incredible to have a conversation with her

and have an interview with her. And I want to share it with you today. I'm really, really

honored and excited to speak with this woman. She's a pioneer.

Of course, the first woman to serve as dean of a United States medical school from Detroit,

raising the project. Somehow she made it out and then she gave back, right? She came through one of

those programs that we've been talking about that have allowed for people to live these kind

of lives. We're going to talk about it with Dr. Barbara

Ross Lee. Thank you very much. I'm really pleased to be here. Well, you are an icon, and I'm grateful

coming out of the projects of Detroit, Michigan. Talk about that, because your household produced

some greatness.

You know, when you live in a really segregated society, you can only measure your value by the people around you.
