Thank you to Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari (DO Class of 2006) for returning to campus and sharing your journey with our community!

Through her memoir, “Labor: One Woman’s Work,” Dr. Afsari draws from her experience as a board-certified OB-GYN to share a compelling reflection on the intersection of medicine, identity, and the enduring search for agency.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn from your story and perspective!

Raised in Vallejo. Giving back to Vallejo. 💙

Meet Destany Michael, a Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation Momhi Scholarship recipient and TUC College of Osteopathic Medicine student. As a first-generation college student and mom of two, Destany is driven by community, access, and lived experience.

She’s already making an impact locally: Supporting harm-reduction outreach with Drug Safe Solano, co-leading menopause education with MenoWell Vallejo, and contributing to Vallejo Late Night Basketball to help create safer community spaces.

Destany plans to practice in Solano County as an OB/GYN, providing compassionate, community-informed care and working to close gaps in maternal and reproductive health for the communities that raised her.

“WOW! This is such a huge surprise and an honor! I greatly
appreciate this support from Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation and being from Vallejo, this means so much as I know how much they show up for community members growth and success … this is
very encouraging and motivating!"

Huge thanks to the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation for investing in TUC students who are already making a difference in Vallejo!
