Today Dr Mary speaks with Dr Hokehe Eko from Glow Pediatrics. 

Meet Dr Eko:
My name is Dr. Hokehe Eko, and I am a Board-Certified Pediatrician and Tedx speaker with over ten years of experience specializing in Integrative care for children with ADHD, Autism, and Brain Health. I am passionate about addressing the root causes of these conditions and helping children and their families thrive through a holistic approach to healthcare.

My expertise includes a comprehensive understanding of the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of children, particularly those on the autism spectrum and those with ADHD.
In my practice Glow Pediatrics, we emphasize a holistic approach to pediatric care, addressing brain health, gut health, emotional health, and environmental factors to help children reach their full potential. I offer integrative strategies for managing Autism and ADHD and explore how this comprehensive approach can significantly improve outcomes for children and their families.

Dr Mary is joined by Traci Neal, Speaker Poet.

Traci Neal knew she wanted to write at 5 years old but didn’t begin writing poetry until 13 and then performing at 14. As a teenager, poetry becomes her outlet to deal with bullying & having low-self esteem.  

Her passion for public speaking comes ten years later after many attempts to become an elementary school teacher. Feeling like a total failure, she discovered God had a different plan for her life. She now uses her poetry to speak to others and wants to share her life lessons in her book series, Lynn Learns Lessons, as a means to inspire youth.

Dr Mary speaks with Angel Wilson, Owner of SPARC Guidance and an Autism Educator.

After 15 years in the autism field, Angel had held nearly every position in it. From Therapist, to Developmental Specialist, Supervisor, Trainer, Assessor, Interventionist…she learned and saw a LOT. What she noticed, though, were the concerns coming from families and providers alike; a lot of them knew OF autism, but didn’t really know ABOUT autism.
SPARC Guidance was created to answer these concerns. Since becoming a full time business, SPARC has trained over 120 providers (daycare staff, teachers, coordinators, and administrators) on what autism is and how to better understand autistic individuals. In 2022, the mission gained a new platform with SPARC Up, a podcast that centers on all things autism.
