Ludington Library Invites You to Meet Medical Illustrator, Chidiebere Ibe Online
Chidiebere Ibe is the student Bringing Black Illustrations to the Medical Field.
Ibe began drawing medical illustrations with Black people as subjects in response to the use of white subjects in the vast majority of such illustrations, hoping to promote diversity in the illustrations used by the medical textbooks used in medical training, and noting that "many conditions and signs look different based on the patient’s skin colour and therefore the black skin should be equally represented." He has illustrated various medical subjects including a fetus in a womb as well as excema. In early December 2021, he went viral on social media as a result of his illustrations. His fetus-in-womb illustration had received more than 81,000 likes as of 8 December 2021.
