A Societal Check Up
What if America’s political crisis is also a crisis of the human condition?
On this episode of Ask the Good Doctor, Dr. LaJoyce Brookshire welcomes back Imam Earl Abdulmalik Mohammed for a conversation about the health of our society—and what it will take to heal.
Together, they explore the connection between human dignity, moral leadership, and access to life’s basic necessities, including food, housing, clean water, and education.
Moving beyond political labels, they examine fairness, personal responsibility, and the obligations we share toward our neighbors.
Imam Mohammed also considers how the language we use to describe one another can either diminish human potential or help it flourish. Drawing on their Christian and Muslim faiths, he and Dr. Brookshire find common ground in service, compassion, and the pursuit of a just society.

Keeping The Black Family Safe
What happens when children are judged by a label before anyone takes time to understand their story?
On this episode of Ask the Good Doctor, Dr. LaJoyce Brookshire welcomes historian, journalist, and eugenics scholar Dr. Shantella Sherman for a candid conversation about the history of eugenics, its relationship to the Black family, and the importance of protecting the next generation.
Dr. Sherman explains how eugenic beliefs were used to classify people and justify exclusion, segregation, and forced sterilization. Drawing on her family’s experiences in Mississippi, she shares how those ideas shaped access to education and opportunity—and why she believes recognizing their legacy remains essential today.
The conversation turns to parenting, the stereotypes placed on Black children, and the power of parents showing up together.
Dr. Brookshire and Dr. Sherman discuss parental presence, accountability, and the responsibility adults share in building trust within families and communities.
They also explore a holistic approach to children’s well-being, considering hunger, sleep, fear, environment, and emotional support when trying to understand behavior.
At the heart of the conversation is a call to slow down, listen, and invest in the people who need us most.
