“I Saw Their Faith As Something Much Larger”: An Interview Cinnamon Bradley, MD, FACP, Primary Care Internist at Grady Memorial Hospital Associate Professor of Internal Medicine for Morehouse School of Medicine.

Dr. Cinnamon Bradley has launched a Medical Humanities Journal at Morehouse School of Medicine, “Aequitas,” in honor of the mission toward achieving health equity. As a Primary Care Internist at Grady Memorial Hospital, she describes being grounded in the faith of her grandmothers, growing up on the Southside of Chicago:
“My spiritual journey probably starts like many others, “I had a praying grandmother. Actually, I had two. By the time I was born in 1971 my grandmothers had been rooted and grounded in their respective Baptist Church for decades. They had church outfits, church hats and church purses filled with loose tissue and starlight peppermints. More than these outward trappings they had faith. Faith the size of a mustard seed, but I saw their faith as much larger. They believed deeply in God and the goodness of God. They hummed spirituals while they cooked in the kitchen and the name of Jesus rolled off their tongues like a blessing. They didn’t seem to doubt. They didn’t seem to waiver. They loved Jesus and he loved them and nothing else in the world was sweeter or more important.”
