“For years, I battled severe folliculitis - painful ingrown hairs that plagued my scalp, a condition disproportionately affecting men in our community. Despite consulting multiple doctors and trying countless treatments, nothing provided relief. Some of the recommended treatments even worsened my condition.

My breakthrough came unexpectedly after moving from Birmingham AL to LA. During a routine haircut, my new barber immediately recognized my struggle. He casually recommended an over the counter hair grease, and to my amazement, it worked wonders. My folliculitis vanished completely within weeks.

This experience reminded me that within our communities, we hold invaluable health solutions that could spare others from years of suffering. Yet these solutions often go unshared and unrecorded, buried beneath layers of systemic barriers and lack of proper platforms. I've faced misdiagnoses, incorrect prescriptions, and inadequate care - challenges stemming from a medical system not designed with our unique needs in mind.

Inspired by this personal journey, coupled with insights from friends and family facing similar struggles, I founded Doqta. My background studying the intersection of healthcare and technology at institutions like Google and UCLA fueled my vision to revolutionize access to quality, culturally competent care.

I invite you to join this movement. Together, we can harness the power of community understanding, shared experiences, and intelligent tailored care to take control of our health. Let's bridge the gap in healthcare and create a future where everyone receives the care they deserve. Together, we can heal and thrive.”
