Parenting with Pride & Power: A Conversation with Dr. Lulu on Joy, Identity & Advocacy
I’m thrilled to welcome the incredible Dr. Lulu (Uchenna Umeh, MD, MBA, FAAP) to the Embracing Joy Podcast!
Dr. Lulu is a Nigerian-born pediatrician, bestselling author, LGBTQIA+ advocate, retired Air Force commander — and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. After her child came out as non-binary, she courageously transitioned from medicine to full-time advocacy, coaching parents to love, support, and affirm their LGBTQ+ children with pride and joy.
In this powerful conversation, we’ll explore:
How embracing identity can lead to deeper purpose and joy
Common parenting pitfalls — and how to avoid them with compassion
What it really means to create affirming spaces in families, medicine, and beyond
If you’re a parent, healthcare provider, or anyone navigating love, success, and identity, this episode will open your heart and inspire your soul. 💖
Join us LIVE for this transformative conversation!
