No Ordinary Subjects

Hi, I’m Allison Kalloo. I was destined to be an innovator, storyteller, and advocate, and to leverage my talents and passion for breaking barriers and building bridges. My journey began with a deep curiosity about the world and an unwavering belief in the power of connection— all of which was inspired most profoundly by my mother. She was a badass scientist in the days before many Black women took up as much space there. She did.

 

Marian Suitt was a trailblazer in many ways. She was also the first person I knew who participated in clinical trials. She understood research from both sides of the equation. Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to the legacy work of addressing disparities and amplifying marginalized voices, whether through my creative work as a cultural ambassador, my involvement in clinical trials, or my patient-centered initiatives to make research more inclusive.

​

Through it all, storytelling has been an anchor. From founding Clinical Ambassador to my work as a writer and podcast host, I’ve used words and creativity to challenge assumptions, spark dialogue, and inspire action. My work is guided by the belief that diversity is not just a metric—it’s a necessity for progress, innovation, and equity.

 

Every subsequent challenge I’ve faced has shaped my perspective, and every project I’ve taken on has fueled my commitment to meaningful change in the wellness sphere. Whether you’re here to learn more about my podcast, my professional work, or my creative pursuits, I hope you’ll derive inspiration from the road less taken and join me in creating a more inclusive and compassionate world.
