When Dr. Cwanza Pinckney graduated from Xavier University, the Dallas native was looking forward to a career as an Emergency Room physician.
“I was blessed to work with and be mentored by an amazing and brilliant physician, Dr. Phyllis Gee, throughout high school and college. As a result, I fell in love with medicine, patients, and patient care,” Dr. Cwanza said.
Shortly after undergrad, Dr. Cwanza went on to excel in medical school and residency training. Although she developed a deep love for medicine and her patients, she quickly learned that medicine and the real world came with challenges and Dr. Cwanza found herself longing for something more.
“I love working in the ER, but what I found was the patient encounters, while rewarding, can be very one-dimensional,” Dr. Cwanza said. “I was getting disenfranchised and thought about quitting. Instead, I had a mindset shift that I wanted to practice and live the way I wanted. So, I started moving my life in that direction. And I started on this journey of knocking off things on my bucket list to make the best life possible.”
Always a go-getter, Dr. Cwanza decided to turn to something she enjoyed that would relieve the stress of the ER at the same time – deejaying. She rekindled her love for music and combined her life love of hip-hop, rhythm and blues, jazz, soul, and electronic music.
“Deejaying started as a hobby to relieve stress from work. I taught myself and it just really picked up,” she said.
She is now proudly known as both Dr. Cwanza and DjDrCodeBlue. Through her Code Blue Productions entertainment business, DjDrCodeBlue now deejay’s locally, nationally, and internationally. She recently just returned from the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, where she was featured. Deejaying allowed Dr. Cwanza to see that her passions didn’t have to be limited.
Her creative mind flourished and through a lot of self-revelation, mind set mastery, and personal development, she found a new joy in medicine and music that has blossomed into exclusive mobile concierge physician services, mobile DJ services, musical production services, and mindset mastery coaching.
“I also knew that I wanted to help others with mindset coaching to fulfill their passion who don’t know how to get from point A to B,” she said.
Dr. Cwanza opened a mobile physician concierge service to help busy professional patients and families quickly solve urgent medical issues in a comfortable work, home, or trusted care setting of their choice. In addition, she also works as a mindset mastery coach who helps clients transform and achieve their goals through the neuro-linguistic reprogramming techniques, meditation, music, and a mantra of “Good Vibes Only” that leaves her clients feeling confidently ready to make the positive changes and eliminate the negative external to create alignment with each client’s unique values, goals, and purpose.
“My goal with that is to provide people with direct care in places that they’re comfortable – work, office, if they’re travelling and they’re just in town and need assistance to provide in-depth care, like in th
e old days,” she said. “It’s more or less, direct patient care. I handle things like screenings, urgent issues, referring you and helping to organize whatever specialty needs you have without having to be inconvenienced.”
Her concierge business is geared toward professionals, busy individuals and families.
“I started with a soft launch and people have started to love and catch on to it,” Dr. Cwanza said. “The clients are happy. I take the legwork out of it. That’s really my passion in terms of medical work. I still do hospital work because I love the critical nature.”
Since birth, Dr. Cwanza has had many trials that have turned into blessings for herself and those around her. She has overcome odds time and time again, and will continue to do so through her unique and amazing combination of crafts.
“I guess you can say I live life according to my own beat” Dr. Cwanza said when describing how she continuously turns trial into triumph.
