Meet your homegirl in health
Mariama Jallow-Olanrewaju, MD
Physician · Ophthalmologist · Mother of two
Dr. Jallow created Homegirl Health Guides because good medical information should not make people feel small, confused, or left out of the conversation. As both a physician and a woman living with lupus, she understands that health is personal—and that knowledge becomes powerful only when it fits real life.
Her approach translates the “doctor explanation” into clear, practical guidance so you can feel informed—not intimidated.
