Episode Description
Dr. Avonia Richardson-Miller is Senior Vice President at Hackensack Meridian Health. She grew up working the land on a family farm in North Carolina, earned a BS in Chemistry from Howard University, became a research chemist, an entrepreneur, an adjunct professor, and then found her way into healthcare leadership. Nine years ago, she underwent open heart surgery that changed everything.
In this episode, Avonia talks about why faith isn't passive, why she chooses joy as an active daily decision, how the discipline she learned in a cucumber row is the same discipline she uses to break down complex business problems, and why the human factor in AI is no different from Whitney Houston transforming Chaka Khan's original into something new while honoring the source.
