Her decision to go bald isn’t the only stigma Imani is challenging on Married to Medicine. The 43-year-old hopes her work with patients suffering from mental issues, homelessness, schizophrenia, and chronic depression will redefine the roles Black women are often forced into.

“[It was] very important for me to make sure that my personality was portrayed on Married to Medicine in a multifaceted fashion instead of a one-dimensional one,” she said in an interview with Essence. “Overwhelmingly, I believe that most Black women on reality TV shows fit the same tropes that we’ve always seen in entertainment.”

The Xavier alum added, “There are Black psychiatrists. We’re not everywhere but we are out there. Even if they don’t end up seeing a Black psychiatrist, I just want Black women to know that there are empathetic doctors who really do like our jobs and want to help people with mental illness get better.”
